Chapter 12 is tough
Grandpa pulled me back and whispered, "I want to hide it in the dark, can this little trick be hidden from me?" I'm going to sleep. Then he went back to his room and went to sleep.
Is there really someone watching us? I went outside to pour ashes, and I looked around, and sure enough, I saw someone hiding on the side of a telephone pole, and when they saw me coming out, they quickly hid. It's a pity that I was wearing a military coat on a snowy day, and the color was too bright to hide at all. I think it should be a certain educated youth.
I sneered in my heart, these people also have no principles at all, and they promised to come out and do bad things in the above sentence, there are no principles, and there is nothing wrong with it, and they are willing to be slaves.
I poured out the ashes and hurried back to the house, I sat on the edge of the kang and sewed my clothes, thinking that no matter who was there, I would find my own guilt and freeze to death.
The wind and snow outside continued, the windows were creaking, and I didn't leave the house, I spent the day making that coat.
It got dark early, and at four o'clock, it was pitch black outside.
I made cakes and scrambled eggs with cabbage, poured water over the vegetables, put somen noodles in them, sprinkled some salt, and drank them as soup. When my grandfather came in, I was almost done.
"Girl, you've really changed a different person. Why are you so diligent. Cooking is so good, you must be able to find a good partner. ”
I smiled and put the pancake in front of my grandfather: "It doesn't matter if I'm okay or not, let's eat, when are we leaving?"
My grandfather looked at his watch and smiled: "Don't worry, let those grandsons continue to freeze outside for a while! ”
I pouted: "What about those educated youths, it has nothing to do with me." I'm not happy you say that. ”
Even if I know it's a joke, I still don't want to have anything to do with that scumbag, it's too much for this person.
"Hmm. I know, I'll just talk about it casually, don't be angry Xiu'er. Grandpa said with a smile.
I glared at him: "Besides, this person, you will drink one less glass of wine at a meal in the future." ”
My grandfather hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, I was wrong, I won't say a word in the future, don't let me drink." ”
"That's pretty much it. "I went to the kitchen with my rice bowl to wash the dishes.
My grandfather was in no hurry, and when it was about eight o'clock, he put out all the oil lamps, pretended to be sleeping, and then waited a long time before taking me out. We were all dressed very heavy, like cotton bales.
My grandfather was carrying a bag in his arms. Inside were hammers, shovels and chisels, and there were also lighters and some birch bark.
I wondered, "Are you afraid of freezing and igniting a fire?"
"It's not. The ground is so hard and freezing, so I can dig a little better by finding some firewood and burning it with a fire. ”
I nodded and said, "Well, there's someone out there." When the time comes, a little fire will be discovered. ”
"What are you afraid of, it's such a cold day, if you can still keep an eye on me, I'll take it, you go to bed first, and wait for me to come back." ”
Of course I didn't want to: "No, I'll go with you, grandpa don't persuade me, I've always been stubborn! You don't know, it's useless to persuade me, take me there." ”
My grandfather had no choice but to take me away.
As soon as I went out, a strong wind blew, and I staggered a few steps, backwards and crashed into my father's body, and I didn't breathe, and I almost lost my breath. Although I wore a lot, the strong wind still blew me through directly, and I couldn't help but shiver. I've never experienced this kind of weather in my two lifetimes
My grandfather hurriedly grabbed me, "What's the matter, is it too cold for you to stand it?"
"Such a strong wind!" I couldn't breathe steadily.
"Nonsense, it's a smoke bubble. Most people are terrified, if you are lighter, it is estimated that you can blow into the sky as a kite fly. "My grandfather grabbed a big towel and surrounded me.
I couldn't help but laugh, "Grandpa, how can you say that is so exaggerated!"
"Huh. This is no joke, I've seen it, more than a decade ago, it was bigger, and in one night, the roofs of several houses were blown out, not to mention people. If it weren't for such a strong wind, I wouldn't dare to come out, and others couldn't stand it, so I dared to come out. Let's go, hurry up, it won't be cold in a while. ”
I agreed, and walked outside with my grandfather, I deliberately looked around and didn't see anyone following.
My grandfather said, "These guys can't stand it anymore and go back, but they might as well be waiting for us on the hillside over there." ”
I think it's possible, just wait for the rabbit. But I also admire the courage to come out in such weather.
My grandfather said, "I'm not in a hurry anyway, I'll just freeze these grandchildren to death." ”
I followed my grandfather forward, and I felt the wind blowing from all directions, no matter how I turned my head, it could blow into my neck, mixed with snow particles like sand, even though I had covered most of my face with a scarf, but my face still hurt from being smashed.
The top of my eyelashes soon became white and frosty, and I couldn't see the road clearly, and the wind in my ears was whining and calling, like a female ghost.
The snow under my feet was almost a foot thick, and it was really difficult to follow step by step, and I could barely follow it at first, but in the back, I really took a step and gasped for a long time, and my forehead was full of sweat, and the snow particles were mixed together, not to mention how painful it was.
My grandfather was in front of me, walking very fast, I followed as best I could, and my legs were like lead, too heavy. No wonder other people don't come out, who can stand this?
"What's going on? Xiu'er?"
"I'm fine, it's fine. "I'm panting like a cow, and I'm struggling with every step, but I'm still holding on.
My grandfather was still very smooth, and looked back at me: "You young people have never experienced it, I climbed the snow mountain and crossed the meadow at the beginning." ”
I said, "Grandpa, I admire you so much, I must exercise well." ”
My grandfather looked back at me, and I wanted to talk to him, but I couldn't speak. I saw that his head and face were covered with snow, and his eyes were covered with hoarfrost. I was just about to speak, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and the next second, I was caught like a rabbit, and I was startled and screamed.
My grandfather smiled: "Don't shout, it's okay, I'll take you away." ”
He dragged me half and half carried me, and walked forward, and his body helped me block the wind, I really admired my grandfather, who was physically strong and so neat. As we climbed the hill, the snow got heavier and heavier. The wind was so strong that it almost threw people to the ground, and I grabbed my grandfather's arm so hard that I couldn't get angry.
We finally got to the place where they were digging up the silver dollars, and Grandpa put me down. He crossed his waist and began to gasp, also exhausted. He looked around: "I'll see where we start digging." ”
I also began to think back to the situation at that time, and it was true that many people were talking about where the silver dollars were dug up and where they could be harvested, but I didn't care at all. What I was thinking at the time was that I could get along with Gao Haisheng, sweet, where to care about other things.
So when I think about it now, it's a blank slate, and I'm really angry with me! I was really stupid as a pig at that time! I couldn't do anything like this! I thought about it for a long time and there was no clue, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to fail, and I stepped on the snow on the ground with one foot.
Grandpa said, "What are you doing?
"No, I'm wondering where it is. "I frowned and thought back to the past, at that time, those educated youths were also tempted, and they also wanted to get silver dollars, but because they were watched very closely, they were afraid of being sued by the villagers, so they didn't dare to act.
Gao Haisheng also asked me where it was, and I said that my family had money and didn't care about those silver dollars. He didn't say anything more.
Later, a neighbor seemed to be very excited and picked it up, but he said where did it come from?
My grandfather was already squatting on the ground and starting to dig a hole with a thick layer of snow on it, and it was very difficult to get up and down.
I'm also going to follow along, so if I can help a little, it's a little bit.
