Chapter 3: Spring is all hot, and people become like faded clothes
Li Yuanzhi sat on the boulder until late at night, reluctant to leave for a long time, knowing that he was in a coma before Li Er carried him home. When he woke up the next day, although Li Yuanzhi still felt pain in his chest, he still beat it according to the boxing method taught by his grandfather, but he didn't expect the effect to be exceptionally good, and even the pain in his chest was much better. In the past, when I wasn't injured, I just felt a little hot, but now it seems to be very different.
After finding some leftovers in the kitchen to pad his stomach, Li Yuanzhi began to do morning classes as usual, reading and reading and endorsing. It was already noon after finishing the morning class, Li Yuanzhi ran to the boulder that fell on the ground at the entrance of the village again, he was going to wait for his grandfather here, he believed that his grandfather would come back, because he hadn't eaten lunch yet, and his grandfather loved him the most.
But when it was getting westward and no one returned, Li Erdan ran over to accompany Li Yuanzhi, knowing that he had not eaten, he ran home to get the buns and waited with him. In the evening, Li Yuanzhi went home by himself, because he still had to do evening classes. The evening class is a mantra taught by the master's grandfather, and he has to practice for an hour every night, he doesn't know why, but his grandfather told him to practice, and he practiced. The next day he told his grandfather that yesterday there was a blue gas running around in his stomach. He remembered that the master's grandfather looked at him so strangely at that time, even the old black man was weird.
Another day passed, under the sunset, Li Yuanzhi was still sitting under the red boulder and waiting in the distance, not waiting for his grandfather, but the old sunspot came back, and a dog took advantage of the dark night to walk, the figure was lonely as if abandoned, sad as water.
Li Yuanzhi cried, he knew that the master and grandfather would not come back, but he just felt it.
Tranquility returned to the village, as if nothing had changed, except that only a dog and a three-year-old child were left in the old fairy's house.
Li Yuanzhi still boxed as usual, doing morning and evening classes, but he no longer went to wait for people on the boulder.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day have become the biggest test for one person and one dog.
In the morning, Li Yuanzhi finished a set of boxing techniques in the morning light, and the old sunspot lay on the earthen wall basking in the rising sun. Li Yuanzhi didn't know why a dog could run to the wall, and he didn't know why a dog should run to the wall. Maybe dogs can go up the wall in the first place. But Li Yuanzhi, the tiger son of the Erdan family, had never seen it go up to the wall. Unless it was him and Erdan who reported the tiger, but the tiger stood on the wall and clawed the wall, trembling. Ergouzi was young and timid, so he stayed under the wall alone and looked at Erdan and him enviously, every time Li Yuanzhi would throw Huzi off the wall like a prank, and let Ergouzi follow. But where does the timid second dog dare to run far away every time. The tiger fell to the ground and ran away with a whimper. Of course, Erdan was distressed, but he had no right to speak in front of Li Yuanzhi. So every time Huzi saw Li Yuanzhi, he always ran away, but where could Huzi, who was only a few months old, run past the three bear children. Each time, it is a tumbling in the air and escaping on the ground. Occasionally, they would roll in the air and fall into the river, and they didn't dare to go ashore, so they waited in the water for the bear children to wait for the boring to go ashore. Fortunately, Li Yuanzhi and the wall they can go up to is not high, otherwise Huzi may die early.
When Li Yuanzhi finished punching, a man and a dog stood in front of the stove, but Li Yuanzhi's height was half a head higher than the stove, and if he wanted to see the movement in the pot, he had to stand on the bench. Scrambled eggs, there are many eggs at home, they are all given by the villagers, and they will not be raised at home, because if you don't grow up, it will enter the stomach of the old sunspot.
Burning the fire, Li Yuanzhi's usual appearance of the scholar's grandfather beat the eggs into the pot, and his hand slipped down. It's over, you can't eat eggshells. Then Li Yuanzhi held the stove with one hand and the other hand to fish, and the old black man was biting Li Yuanzhi's clothes in the back, in case it fell, it would be a big pot of vegetables.
When the eggshell is finished, Li Yuanzhi doesn't know what is in the pot, why does it look like pot ash?
Forget it, Li Yuanzhi began to study, and the old black man slipped away quietly. Li Yuanzhi just glanced up and was no longer distracted. It's just that I must be slandered in my heart, and the stinky sunspot must have gone to find food by himself, I don't know if he will bring some back for himself......
And so the days passed.
At the beginning, Erdan's mother would also send lunch and dinner, but after half a month, it was less, and now it's three months. Erdan's mother never brought food again. It's just that sometimes Erdan will take out steamed buns and hard-boiled eggs, chicken thighs and other things from his pocket.
"Erba, don't steal anything from home anymore, I won't starve. Li Yuanzhi sat on the boulder and said to the second egg who was playing with mud below.
"I didn't steal it, my mother asked me to give it to you, she said she was busy and didn't have time to cook for you. It's just that Erdan's voice is getting smaller and smaller, and he obviously lacks confidence.
"Alas," Li Yuanzhi sighed. Every time Erdan takes something to himself, if Li Er is at home after going home, then there is nothing, if only Erdan's mother is at home, then Erdan's meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots is indispensable, Erdan's crying can be heard in the whole village, Erdan's mother scolded while beating back, the voice was loud, Li Yuanzhi knew that it was scolding himself.
"The old man is crazy, and he deserves to be crazy if he still has a dry meal. ”
"You're still living with a little madman, aren't you afraid you're crazy too?ah!"
With the cry of the second egg, Li Er's mother can scold the younger for half an hour.
"Yuanzhi, don't blame my mother, okay. I know she didn't do well, and everyone said that my family's money was rewarded by the fairy grandfather, and my grandmother was also saved by the fairy grandfather, I know it's not good, but... But don't you ignore me, okay? Let's still be good friends, okay?" Li Erdan sobbed, raised his little face of crying flowers, and looked at Li Yuanzhi with tears in his nose, for fear that Li Yuanzhi would say nothing.
"It's okay, I won't blame your mother. Besides, your family's money is earned by your father who went out to the mountains again and again, and your grandmother is just a minor illness, and nothing will save her life. We're still good friends, unless the second egg changes first. Li Yuanzhi wiped his face for Erdan and gently persuaded.
Is it resentful? Resentful? No, grandpa said that there is no natural goodness, let alone good for no reason, the millennium of favors, and her mother has taken care of herself for so long. Besides, it was the master and grandfather who saved the second grandmother, and it was not me Li Yuanzhi, they have done a good enough.
During this period, Li Er came a few times and brought pheasants from the mountains, but he just looked at Li Yuanzhi, and stopped talking, and his eyes flashed away with guilt, pity and greed. It's just that I didn't come again for some reason, but I said a few words for the last time, "Don't blame your uncle and aunt, our family has a large population, and we have to eat." ”
Of course, although Li Yuanzhi has never been kind to them, who is their benefactor? It's my grandfather Li Yuanzhi! I just don't hate it, my grandfather said that no one will be kind to another person rightly, unless it is a parent. It's just that Li Yuanzhi still can't figure it out, his aunt is such a good person, when his grandfather is there, he treats himself better than the second egg, he smiles every time, and if there is something delicious, he will give more to himself first, and then give the rest to the second egg. Why? Why is such a good aunt now such a person? Li Yuanzhi couldn't figure it out.
Why does Li Yuanzhi seem to have grown up all of a sudden? Because in the past three months, he has seen a lot of things. In the past, when I was playing crazy in the village, everyone smiled when they saw them, and the delicious and fun things at hand would be given to them, and some people even made fun for themselves.
But now, everyone saw that they seemed to owe him money, and that look was exactly the same as Li Er's once-fleeting look, and even more so. Li Yuanzhi feels that he is superfluous wherever he goes, and people will look at him with disgust, that kind of look Li Yuanzhi knows, because he hates the old man Gou in the village very much, because he is always dirty and smelly, and a mouth is a big black and yellow tooth that leaks, and he always smiles and leans in front of him. I hide far away every time. Grandpa said that the look in his eyes when he looked at Old Man Gou was disgusted.
But Li Yuanzhi felt that he was even more disgusting than Old Man Gou, because that kind of dazzling eyes could be seen everywhere, everyone could see it, and it was undisguised, and Li Yuanzhi could see that kind of eyes were ten times more disgusting than the eyes he looked at Old Man Gou! Even when Li Yuanzhi walked on the road, there would be people who would kick themselves when they passed by, thinking that they were in the way, and every time he got up from the ground, he felt that the onlookers were talking in their eyes, as if it was a pity that he didn't kick himself to death!
There are many people who will bully themselves, and the most vicious ones are those who deliberately gave themselves fun and delicious food before. So Li Yuanzhi rarely goes out now. I always hide at home and practice the evening classes left by my grandfather or read and write. Occasionally, Li Yuanzhi would sneak to the boulder at the entrance of the village, looking at the only entrance to the village, and he was in a daze, as if there was still hope and the courage to live.
Once, Lao Heizi stole the chicken again, but as soon as he entered the yard, someone followed, it was Aunt Liu. Lao Heizi just stole her chickens, and Lao Heizi loved to steal her chickens if he wanted to. Aunt Liu, who is speechless every time, seems to be trying to eat people this time, so fierce. I stood in the yard and scolded for a long time, and the scolding was so ugly. Li Yuanzhi was also so scared, he pressed against the door tightly, tears streaming down his face, he was afraid and anxious.
It wasn't until the sun went down that there was no movement in the yard, Li Yuanzhi listened quietly in the house for a long time before poking his head out, and after finding that he was really gone, he hurriedly ran out of the house, tied up the far door, and sat on the ground, not wanting to move. I thought to myself, just die like this, I'm so tired of living.
It wasn't until the top of the moon that Li Yuanzhi sat up, and found that the old black man had been standing straight on the steps, and there was both unbearability and relief in his eyes, which was very complicated, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.
When he got up, Li Yuanzhi found that a set of tables and chairs in the courtyard was missing, but there were no missing things in the other rooms.
Sitting by the fire with the old sunspot, driving the chicken stolen by the old sunspot on the fire, but it used to be roasted by grandpa, but now you can only do it yourself. In fact, it has been roasted a few times, and it is a few brought by Li Er. But I won't put the seasoning, let alone master the heat, and the grill is not very delicious. But it's been a long time since I've eaten meat, and one person and one dog don't care so much. However, Li Yuanzhi learned to cook a few side dishes, all of which he learned from his mother in the first few months, and it was then that Li Yuanzhi knew that scrambled eggs were to be oiled, and so were stir-fried vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, spring has passed, and it was just spring when grandpa left, and now it has been summer for a long time. It's hot and it seems like it's going to kill you. Li Yuanzhi has never felt so sad in summer, as if everything in heaven and earth is about to burn.
Spring is all hot, and people become like faded clothes.
Summer in the world has arrived, and people have lost their clothes, but Li Yuanzhi feels that people have not only lost their clothes, but have lost their faces, revealing their true colors.
However, the old man Gou pasted it with a smile when he saw him as always, revealing a mouthful of missing big yellow teeth, Li Yuanzhi didn't hate him so much.
