Chapter 163: Runtu Tells Stories

Wang He stood and looked at his surroundings.

Runtu and Xun Ge'er are located in a melon shed, which is made of wood, planks and straw, similar to the shape of the word "Tong", the floor is one meter high from the ground, and a wooden ladder next to it leans on the shed for people to go up and down.

Around the melon shed, there is a large green watermelon field, which should be the season when the watermelon is ripe, and the large and round watermelons between the vine leaves are bathed in the moonlight, and the insects are constantly screaming.

A few hundred meters away from the melon field is the sandy beach, and beyond the beach is the sea, the waves shimmer in the moonlight, and the sound of the waves is heard in the cool breeze.

After looking at the surrounding environment, Wang He looked down and saw that he was barefoot, thin and sturdy, wearing a sleeveless gown, and a pair of washed white blue pants underneath, with patches on the gown pants, and the pants were a little short, and in the eyes of future generations, they were cropped pants.

Brother Xun admired the moon for a while and asked:

"Runtu, on weekdays, you and your father keep vigil to watch melons, have you encountered anything strange?"

Wang He sat down beside Brother Xun, hung down his feet, and said:

"What's strange?"

Brother Xun recalled with a sideways face:

"Before I came, I had heard that there were sea monsters in the sea, and sometimes they would come to the shore and cause trouble...... Have you ever heard of the legend of the sea monster?"

As soon as he said this, Wang He really remembered a picture, which was the cover of a magazine he saw when he was in the fourth or fifth grade of primary school, and the cover picture was very eye-catching:

In the seaside water, a man dragged a woman who had fallen into the water to the shore, and a few meters in front of the two, a huge sea monster opened its mouth wide, revealing a bloody mouth with two rows of snow-white sharp teeth up and down, and a spear pierced in its long neck, probably thrown by the man in front of it.

This cover gave the young Wang He a very deep impression, before this he read some children's magazines, such as "Juvenile Literature and Art", etc., the cover is relatively childish, and the name of this magazine is not remembered, but this painting has been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Wang He made up a short story about the content of this cover: the man is called Jack, the woman is called Ruth, and the sea monster is called Godzilla.

Brother Xun listened to the story attentively, and after Wang He finished speaking, after the silence, he let out a long sigh and said a little melancholy:

Ruth she ...... It's better to die with Jack to be happy. ”

"There's no story about her when she dies. ”

After Wang He finished speaking, he silently thought in his heart:

"Among the people who read Titanic, many people also think the same way. ”

After all, it is a young man's nature, Brother Xun quickly became cheerful and asked:

"Any more stories?"

"And ......"

Wang He thought about it again and again, and decided not to tell the story of Ah Q and Kong Yiji, but to tell a terrifying story:

"Among the students studying at a private school, there was a pair of good friends, A and B, who rented a very small room with a bunk bed in bunk beds, and A slept in the lower bunk. The two studied hard day and night, encouraging each other. One day B leaves without saying goodbye, and A is very sad, but he does not know B's home address and has no way to find it.

After B leaves, A still studies diligently. But something strange happened, every day when he came back from the private school, he would see a piece of paper on the table, and six words were written on it: good friend, back to back. He never understood what that meant. This went on for five or six days. That night, A was lying on the bed, looking at the papers over and over again, and suddenly, as if he realized something, he turned over and looked under the bed...... Frightened, he fell out of bed, and it turned out that B was crucified under the bed......"

"Ahh

Brother Xun screamed in fright and almost fell headlong, but fortunately, Wang He's eyes were quick and he grabbed him. Brother Xun, who was undecided, looked at the bottom of the shed, and there was no corpse at the bottom...... Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, patted his chest after sitting firmly, and gasped:

"Runtu, you're going to scare me to death with this story! Where did you, where did you hear such a strange story?"

Wang He said with a smile:

"It's all about the people who fish in the world. Shall I tell you another one?"

Brother Xun shook his head and waved his hand:

"No, no, no. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep anymore...... With this story, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight......"

Wang He patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, I'm here. ”

Brother Xun muttered to himself:

"Bad luck is bad luck on you. ”

Wang He handed him the pillow next to him and said:

"It's not early, go to bed. ”

Brother Xun took the pillow and saw that there was nothing on the board except for a patched sheet, so he said:

"Just one pillow, what do you use?"

Wang He smiled:

"I'm going to keep a vigil to watch the melons. Sleep first, and I'll wake you up when the night comes. ”

Brother Xun'er's head rests on the pillow, covered with sheets, and the wooden plank under him is a little uncomfortable, but compared with the environment at the moment, these are not things.

Brother Xun was born as a young master, his grandfather was born in Hanlin, he was a Beijing official, and his wealthy family also has many rules, and the life that he yearns for is extremely desirable for poor people, but in his eyes it is extremely rigid and depressing, and the friends he makes are basically the same kind of people.

After a day of running, Brother Xun felt the excitement of leaving home at this time, and his sleepiness surged, and he soon fell asleep.

Wang He looked at the sleeping Brother Xun and remembered a question that he had to memorize in middle school:

Mr. Lu Xun is a great ______, ______ and ______ in modern China.

Although the ages are different, but they were both born in the countryside, Wang He knows the importance of crops to the farmer's family, and after possession, he can't let the soil be beaten, and he has to take a good look at the melons. Wang He came down with a ladder, put on straw sandals, picked up a steel fork stuck in the ground, and went to inspect the melon fields.

Walking on the sand with a steel fork on his shoulder, looking at the big watermelon at his feet, Wang He couldn't help but be a little tongue-in-cheek. In the summer of later generations, Wang He liked to eat watermelon very much, most of them were black beauties of six or seven catties bought, first put them in the refrigerator until they were cold, then take them out and cut them in half with a knife, and then take an impermeable steel long-handled spoon to dig and eat.

As soon as he thought of the frozen watermelon, the saliva secreted in his mouth was even more, Wang He couldn't help but bend down, ready to pick a melon to pick and eat, but he was not satisfied with a few of them, and like all people with difficulty in choosing, he was finally ready to go back and pick the one he liked at first sight.

"Lalala......"

At this moment, Wang He suddenly heard a slight sound, and after being stunned for half a second, a spirit immediately stirred:

"It's ...... The sound of Ru stealing melons!"

Wang He stopped picking melons, held the steel fork with both hands, and looked for the sound lightly.
