Chapter 68: Singing in the middle of the night
Ah Gong set up the carriage, let Xiao Man sit on the car and wait, he took the bamboo tube to the hotel to pour some water, and when he came back, he held a hot brown paper bag in his hand, it turned out to be a big bun, the hotel steamed a lot of such buns every day to supply to the guests, and now it is not possible to sell it privately, only acquaintances will run to the hotel to buy buns to eat.

It's not the first time for Ah Gong to come here to store the ox cart, and he has long understood the situation, so he didn't worry about today's dinner, he bought six buns, three cabbage buns and three sugar heartbags, and left two for Grandma, two grandparents and grandchildren, Xiao Man's chest was blocked, and his appetite was not open and he couldn't eat, and he said that the food made by his sister-in-law at noon today was too delicious, and she ate it too much, and she only gnawed half of the buns, so she gave them to Ah Gong, and Ah Gong ate the remaining half for her, and the other was kept for her, in case she was hungry on the road.
The ox cart left Guancheng, walked along the highway in the open countryside, the twilight was four, the sky was getting darker and darker, there was no moon, the sky gradually appeared bright stars, the white route under the starlight was faintly recognizable, the big buffalo could go smoothly without lighting the lantern, pulling the empty car, this time it was obviously faster.
As when he came, Ah Gong did not use a whip to drive the oxen, and what he wanted was this: to use the cover of night to try not to let the people of the village find out that he was driving a full ox cart out, and then returning empty.
When the night dew came down, I could hear the sound of gargling around like rain, Ah Gong took out the blue cloth and covered Xiao Man's head, he put on a bamboo leaf hat himself, and told Xiao Man not to fall asleep, children are easy to walk around when they fall asleep, and if they want to sleep, they have to wait until they go to their own county to sleep, so they are familiar, in other people's territory, they are afraid of being stolen by wild ghosts they don't know, and it is not easy to deal with when redeeming their souls!
She also said that this was confessed by Qiu Erma, and when she asked her to help take care of Grandma yesterday, she mentioned it.
Xiao Man was speechless: Ah Gong, you think of an eleven-year-old girl too boldly, right?
Ah Gong's words made Xiao Man frightened and sad: "Man Cang said that you kid is too bold, and you dare to go on the wooden bridge after being blinded by the wind and rain, and you will not be allowed to do that in the future! Also, Liu Fengying told you to go to the middle of the mass grave to open up the wasteland, and let her take care of the five or six points of land planted, so that you don't want to go again! After the school starts, you can study with peace of mind, you don't need to worry about your work, you have Ah Gong!"
After being silent for a while, Xiao Man said in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa, this night is heavy, I can't go to the village or the store, it's too boring, or I'll sing you a song!"
Ah Gong smiled: "My Xiaoman can still sing? Seeing that your voice is dumb, let the dew hit, and your grandma will have to nag again!"
"No, it's because I haven't spoken for a long time. ”
Xiao Man jumped out of the ox cart, coughed twice as he walked, cleared his throat, and sure enough, Ah Gong handed her the bamboo tube: "Come on, drink some more water!"
This is the tap water that Ah Gong picked up in the hotel, Xiao Man didn't want to drink it, while Ah Gong didn't pay attention, a bamboo tube of tap water was all poured into the grass on the side of the road, and then replaced the spiritual spring, and after drinking two sips, he pushed it to Ah Gong: "Ah Gong also drinks!"
Ah Gong smacked his lips after drinking the water: "Hey, I didn't think before, the tap water in the city tastes the same as our well water!"
Xiaoman: ......
It's reckless again, and when you add the spiritual spring in the future, you have to think about whether it's appropriate or not.
"Grandpa, are you ready? I'm going to sing!"
"Sing, sing, listen!"
Xiao Man took out the stained glass ribbons from the satchel and held them in two hands, anyway, there were no vehicles on the road, no matter how she danced and danced, the ox cart slowly walked beside her, Ah Gong sat in the car, and she could only see her little shadow shaking her head and dancing under the starlight, Yangge is not like Yangge, the song she sings is a serious revolutionary song, and the song "Shandandan flowers bloom red and gorgeous" often played on the loudspeakers in the village!
"One by one, one by one, from the mountains, one by one, the water, our Central Red Army to northern Shaanxi...... Thousands of households, hey, open the door, and quickly welcome our relatives in and feed them...... The sky is full of dark clouds, and the wind blows away...... The flowering of Shandandan is red and gorgeous......"
Xiao Man likes to sing, every household in the village hangs a loudspeaker, plays revolutionary songs in the morning and evening, sometimes a team is sent from above, and the masses will also be organized to teach and sing new revolutionary songs, Xiao Man is seven or eight years old, just standing on the side and listening to it, you can memorize the tunes and lyrics, people don't dare to sing in front of them, and they keep pondering in their hearts, and they don't know how familiar they are with those songs!
Later, living in the city, she likes to charter a KTV, sing alone enough, she feels good, the lawyer has accompanied her several times, saying that she is qualified to go to the Avenue of Stars, and at the end she told her: In fact, Tang Qingyun and Wu Xiaowen both love music, Tang Qingyun plays the piano well, Wu Xiaowen is a dancer, and he used to be a white swan in "Swan Lake"!
After hearing this, Xiao Man stopped singing.
Lined with the dark shadows of the mountains on both sides of the road, the night is thick and faint, a beautiful and enthusiastic red song, which makes Xiaoman sing the taste of grief and resentment, and listens to Ah Gong from "hehehe" to "cough cough cough"!
Ah Gong didn't know that Xiao Man's mood at this time was depressed and cocooned, not so much singing, but venting, she wanted to break out of the cocoon and return to the calm when she came!
At the end of the song, before Ah Gong could speak, a sound suddenly sounded from a shadow cast by the mountain on the left, and a man said solemnly: "Little girl, this song is not sung like this, your music teacher will criticize you when he hears it!"
Even though Xiao Man was brave enough, this sudden voice still startled her, and she hurriedly ran to the side of the ox cart and shouted: "Ah Gong, there are ghosts!"
Ah Gong reined in the cow, got off the car, and patted Xiaoman on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this voice is full of anger, it's a person, a real person!"
Another voice in the mountain shadow laughed, followed by a hairy guy with a very angry tone: "Hey, what nonsense is your little girl? Where did the ghost come from in the world? This is our ......."
"Eh, Xiao Feng!" the man who laughed stopped and said gently, "It's still a child, don't scare her!"
Seven or eight steps away, three people came out of the shadow of the mountain, and a gentle male voice said, "I'm sorry for the old brother and the little girl, I am worried about you." It's just that it's the middle of the night, why are you grandparents still on the road?"
Ah Gong's hand on Xiao Man's shoulder tightened slightly, Xiao Man didn't wait for Ah to speak publicly, and asked first: "What about you?"
"We, we walked at night to rush back to Guancheng, but the driver was too tired and had a problem, the car drove off the road, and someone had been sent to the nearby village for help, so we sat here and waited. ”
"Oh, that's right, are you all right?" Xiao Man deliberately wanted to divert the topic.
