51. Sleeping is also troublesome
Tan Xiao could see that Ye Shu's family used to be a well-off family, and although the equipment at home was old, it was very complete, just like the size of the electrical appliances, although they had long been outdated, they basically lacked anything.
There are no good programs on TV, TV series are not yet advertised, and the two of them don't like to listen to it, Tan Xiao is listless to watch. Seeing this, Ye Shu connected to the DVD, which can only be seen in the thrift market now, and found a box of discs for Ye Shu to choose. In the discs, except for the two of them, some Hong Kong and Taiwan films were released, and some movies were released earlier than when they were born, not to mention that Tan Xiao, who is used to seeing high-definition Blu-ray quality, wants to watch this and the gun version of the same level, and let Ye Shu move back as it is.
After watching the boring show for a while, Ye Shu yawned for a while, it was not early, and the east courtyard was quiet. Ye Shu and Tan Xiao said goodnight to each other and went back to the West House, Tan Xiao was bored alone, so he turned off the TV and went to the East House after watching it for a while.
The first time she slept on the kang, Tan Xiao was a little unaccustomed, only one person slept on the kang more than four meters wide, which seemed very empty, and she could let herself go at night and sleep in a circle. Although Ye Shu laid her an extra layer of mattress and it was very soft to the touch, she still felt panicked when she lay down.
The night in the mountain village is not hot, but it feels a little cold when the window is open, Tan Xiao covers the quilt, feels the warmth coming from under him, and has a feeling of a sweat room. After closing her eyes for a while, Tan Xiao couldn't sleep, she recognized the bed, and every time she changed it, she had to toss for two days, not to mention that the difference between this change was even greater.
Tan Xiao turned over and over the pancakes on the kang, and the more he urged himself to sleep, the more he couldn't sleep, and finally simply sat up, turned on the light and sat on the kang in a daze. Ye Shu has no relatives, but he has a home and roots, what about himself, his relatives are still there, but he has no home, he feels more like a rootless duckweed, floating anywhere is redundant, and now he has to huddle with this "leaf" to keep warm, and send each other to the end. Ye Shu is homesick, she is also homesick, but Ye Shu is full of love for home, and her heart is more resentful.
"Don't my parents want me to live well? They only care about themselves, how could they ever think about me......" Thinking about it, Tan Xiao gradually shed tears again.
"What's the use of crying, I don't know if they'll be sad when I die. ”
Tan Xiao wiped her tears, raised her head and looked out the window, the curtains were not closed, there were no street lights in the countryside, and the dark clouds that didn't know where they came from covered the moonlight, which was not big, it was very dark outside, and the darkness was terrifying, as if the end of the light was an infinite abyss. Tan Xiao felt as if he saw the "tumbler" beckoning to him in the dark, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze. Inadvertently, Tan Xiao found that the photos hanging on the east wall were a little reflective, and he didn't pay attention to them during the day, but now in the dead of night, he found that he walked to the wall with his shoes on, and felt that the people in the photos were looking at him.
There are more than a dozen photos hanging on the wall, set up in a wooden frame, covered by glass, mostly photos of Ye Shu, some wearing open crotch pants, some when they were children, and some when they were students. There are only two photos of Ye Shu's parents, in the photo, they are loyal and kind, they should be taken by Ye Shu, and their eyebrows are full of love and happiness when they look at the camera. Although the skin is rough and slightly vicissitudes, it looks very young. Come to think of it, they were only about forty years old when they died, and they must have been younger when they were photographed. Look at Ye Shu's parents, and then think about his own parents, which really fulfills the saying, "Everything is someone else's good." ”
After sitting for a while, Tan Xiao turned off the light and got into the quilt again, but he still couldn't sleep. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't see anything, it was too dark, as if it had been cut off from the light, and it was surprisingly quiet, as if it had been abandoned by the world, and the occasional croaking of frogs made her feel like she was in the wilderness. Thinking about the photos on the wall, this is the house where Ye Shu's parents lived before their deaths, will they be watching here in another world, thinking about the loving smile in the photo, Tan Xiao's heart suddenly has a kind of fear, is this the case after death?
"Squeak Squeak......"
There was a sound from the window, and Tan Xiao, who was so frightened that he was cranky, sat up suddenly.
"Who?"
It was quiet outside, and then there was gradually the "squeak" sound just now, listen closely, that sound seemed to be outside the window, but at this time, it was not clear what was going on outside the window, Tan Xiao pressed the light. As a result, as soon as the lights came on, there was a "plop" sound outside, and then, the "squeak" sound also disappeared. Looking out the window, it was dark, and I still couldn't see anything.
"Who?"
Tan Xiao shouted tentatively, but there was no response outside. The policewoman in the house became frightened, and the fear rose from the bottom of her heart, and it became stronger and stronger. Looking at the photos on the wall, Ye Shu's parents were still smiling at themselves.
"Ahh
Tan Xiao hurriedly got up from the kang, opened the door and ran out barefoot, stumbling into the middle room, and kept shouting Ye Shu.
"What's wrong?" After knocking on the door for a long time, Ye Shu, who was sleeping in a daze, opened the door, looked at Tan Xiao who was panicked and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" There was some impatience in his tone, he hadn't rested well in the past two days, and he had just fallen asleep in the familiar quilt, and as a result, he called the door.
Tan Xiao didn't care about Ye Shu's tone, and pointed to the door of the east room, the panicked expression was still on his face, and he also cried when he spoke, "There is movement in that room." ”
"Is there any movement?" Ye Shu, who was slightly sober, listened with his ears open, but didn't hear anything, and then deliberately walked to the door of the east house to listen, but still didn't hear anything, and spread his hands to Tan Xiao, "There's no movement." ”
Tan Xiao also listened to it for a while, and the voice just now was indeed gone, but he still said to Ye Shu with palpitations: "The voice just now was in the window, and it squeaked for a long time, and it was very scary to hear." ”
"Squeaky sound?" Ye Shu asked, and laughed when he saw Tan Xiao nodding, "That's a mouse in the yard, no fuss." ”
"Mouse?"
"yes, rats. Ye Shu explained to her.
"Ahh
"It's okay, it's normal to have rats in the countryside, who doesn't have a rat hole, it's okay, that thing is afraid of people, I didn't see the light on and there was no movement, I guess I was scared by you, I went back to the cave, I may not dare to come out all night, okay, go back to sleep." ”
Tan Xiao shook her head, she didn't move, she was still afraid, and it was not just the rat that she was afraid of, but there was no way to say anything else, Tan Xiao looked at Ye Shu and said, "I'm afraid of that kind of thing, or let's change it, you sleep in the east house, and I sleep in your house." ”
Ye Shu didn't look like she was tricking herself, she was really scared, she didn't say anything, she went back to the house and hugged her bedding out, and then carried Tan Xiao's futon to the West House, "It's okay this time, go to sleep, call me if you're afraid." ”
"Hmm. Tan Xiao nodded, entered the Westinghouse, and closed the door.
The aunt and grandmother from this city are really enough, the master who shouts and kills every day, I can't imagine that I am afraid of rats, and I feel funny when I think about it. Ye Shu shook his head, carried his futon into the east room, and re-laid it. These two days have been too much of a toss-up, and I really have to rest.
As a result, after sleeping for less than half an hour, Ye Shu was woken up by a knock on the door. Ye Shu opened the door, and Tan Xiao was standing pitifully at the door with a futon.
"What's going on?" Ye Shu asked with helplessness on his face, puzzled. If there were rats outside the window of the Westinghouse, he couldn't help it, and he couldn't dig a rat hole in the middle of the night.
Tan Xiao pouted and said, "The kang in that room is too hot, I can't sleep." ”
"Can the freshly burned kang not be hot?" Ye Shu was really speechless at his aunt and grandmother, "The 'kang head' is hot, haven't you moved to the 'kang tip'?"
Although Tan Xiao didn't know the meaning of "kang head" and "kang tip", he guessed a rough idea, glared at Ye Shu, and muttered: "It's all the same heat on the kang, it's the same as teppanyaki." ”
Ye Shu felt like crying without tears, and asked with a sad face: "Then what do you want?" ”
"Hmm. Tan Xiao didn't need Ye Shu's consent, and went directly into the house with the quilt.
"Okay, then I'll go over again. Ye Shu saw that she was not polite, and there was no way at all, who let him bring this aunt back, so he could only pack the bedding again. As soon as he looked up, Ye Shu found that Tan Xiao was looking at him, which made Ye Shu tremble, "What are you doing with me like this, you are still wearing a hair in the middle of the night, it's quite scary." ”
To Ye Shu's surprise, Tan Xiao didn't talk back, but looked at Ye Shu pitifully, and said with some embarrassment: "You also sleep in this house, is it okay?" I'm a little scared. ”
"Scared?" Ye Shu thought she was afraid of rats, a little dumbfounded, and asked, "You live in this house, and I still live in this house, isn't it okay?"
Tan Xiao nodded, "Yes, your kang is so wide, you sleep on one side, and I sleep on the other side." Seeing that Ye Shu had some objections, she said that she would not be happy if she was not happy, and roared in a low voice: "Isn't there also a ward in the hospital, so what?"
"Let's sleep on a kang, aren't you afraid of something?" Ye Shu didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear, there is a difference between men and women, there are two beds in the ward, and now it is a kang and a turnover...... The consequences are unimaginable.
Tan Xiao's eyes widened, and he regained his fiery temper, "What nonsense you say, I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of." The young ladies chirped. Then, the conversation changed and showed a sneer at Ye Shu, "If you don't say it, I forgot to remind you, you remember, if you dare to have any other ideas, I can guarantee that you will become a eunuch before you die, there is no doubt about this, I don't care what kind of relief you will have, I will do what I say." ”
"What do I think. Ye Shu snorted, he didn't have the heart to worry about those with her, he just slept and slept, his life was going to be gone, what kind of stimulation did he want? Pushed his futon to the "kang head", and asked Tan Xiao to spread her futon on the "kang tip", Ye Shu took out two sets of futons from the cabinet and blocked them between the two, stacking them up half a person high, "Don't deliberately harm me." ”
"You're beautiful. Tan Xiao got into the quilt on the kang, "Turn off the lights." ”
Ye Shu turned off the light and climbed into the quilt, he didn't dare to sleep first, that aunt didn't know what else to do, don't just fall asleep and be harmed by her. Persisted for a while, there was no movement over there, and after a while, there was an even breathing sound around him, and the aunt and grandmother actually fell asleep, Ye Shu let out a long breath, and fell asleep.
