"Don't you wonder why I tied a rattan around my waist? In fact... Noticing Xueluo's vague eyes, Lan Wurong seemed to want to explain something.

Xueluo also asked puzzledly; "Oh, tell me! Why is this any special meaning for tying a rattan around your waist? Say it. It's good that I can also have a long insight. ”

"Do you know what's scariest on a rainy day?" Lan Wurong did not directly answer Xueluo's question, but threw out a seemingly unrelated question.

'What's the scariest thing on a rainy day, the soles of your shoes seeping water, the roof leaking, or forgetting to bring an umbrella when you go out. Xue Luo's heart turned seven or eight times, but he didn't speak in a hurry, he was still thinking about what Lan Wurong was implying by asking this question.

But soon he didn't need to bother anymore, because Meng Zhi opened his mouth: "What is the most terrible thing on a rainy day, it's not that he is timid, Lan Wurong is afraid of thunder, you say that I am a girl, I am afraid of the dark, I can't sleep on a rainy day and thunder, I am embarrassed to say that he is a big man, he is even more feminine than us women," Looking at Lan Wurong's unkind eyes, Meng Zhi added, "I mean courage." ”

"It's normal for thunder to hit on a rainy day. Is it possible to tie a rattan around your waist and protect yourself from lightning, I have never heard of it. ”

"Yes, it is indeed lightning protection." Meng Zhi tried her best to resist the urge to laugh, grinning and said, "Lan Wurong, this is the first few belts you lost. ”

"Belts?" Xueluo said suspiciously.

"Well, it's the belt, isn't there a metal buckle on the head of the belt? I don't know where he heard that metal is easy to lead lightning, so when it rains, he doesn't dare to carry any metal objects with him, and he usually carries no coins in his pocket. ”

"Is it necessary to exaggerate so much, if a coin will be struck by lightning, then there is something to pretend to be a coupon, just carry a coin in your pocket."

'Ahem' Lan Wurong coughed first, and then said, "Aha, this is not cowardice, this is precaution, the snow falls, you don't know, how low the thunder is in the countryside, do you see, why does the peach tree grow more luxuriant on one side, it is because it has been struck by lightning, and the son of the old Wang family at the entrance of the village is an umbrella on a rainy day." I was made a fool by a thunderbolt. I don't want to be a person who only spends his days talking. ”

"This should be a rumor, no matter how clear a thing is, it will become very mysterious if it is rumored or spread. On a rainy day, if you don't have an umbrella, you can't go out with taro leaves. ”

"That's what I saw with my own eyes, how can it be fake. On a rainy day, it's not safe to go out no matter what you take, it's best not to go out, it's safest to sleep at home, even if you don't have it, you have to cover your head with a quilt. ”

"So, you're not going to go to the theater." Mengzhi asked.

"I don't have that time to spare, I still have a paper to write, and I can't go today."

'Writing a dissertation, didn't you say you had to hide under the covers?' Xueluo just wanted to say this, but a familiar voice came from behind her, it was Ye Xiaoyu: "Since you are going to write a thesis, do you need me to bring dinner to your room later." ”

"That's troublesome." Lan Wurong showed a grateful expression.

"Yo throat, do you two lonely men and widows want to be alone again?" At this time, an arrogant voice came from behind him, needless to say, it was the third aunt.

"Whoever I want to be with, I can be with whomever I want, and it's not your turn to care." Lan Wurong blew his beard and glared at the third aunt. And Ye Xiaoma quietly opened the distance between him and Lan Wurong, and he had the posture of three hundred taels of silver here.

Xueluo looked at the verbal expressions of these three people, there must be a story between them, a love triangle, or, well, there should be a dead Uncle Menglian.

"Sister-in-law Ye, didn't you say you were going to help me prepare dinner?" Lan Wurong quietly gave Ye Xiaoma a look.

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll help you get ready." Ye Xiaoman immediately turned his head and took the opportunity to leave this place of right and wrong.

I can't see that he still cares about Ye Xiaoma, Xueluo thought secretly. Now that Ye Xiaoma has left, the third aunt has also lost the conditions and the object she wants to target, so there is no need to stay.

。。。。。。。。

Bursts of bustle spread from the center of the village to the surroundings, and even the thunder in the sky was overshadowed. There is a small square in the center of the village, which was originally used for parking for people returning home for the New Year, but now it is used to set up a stage.

A small road large enough for a half-truck to pass crosses the square in the center, and the whole village is cut in half, and from time to time you can see pedestrians dragging their families to the center. As you approach the central square, the more you can sell all kinds of small things.

Rock sugar gourd, sizzling squid, stinky tofu, balloons. From time to time, children slow down and stop in front of the stalls, and the adults do not seem anxious, but wait patiently for these children.

Although the road is not very wide, it is not crowded at all. The stage is made of wood, and except for the side facing the audience, the rest of the stage is covered with red cloth.

At this moment, there is an old student singing on the stage, "Roasted chicken, preserved duck, preserved intestines, bad chicken, bad goose, bad white fish, two bowls of snail snails, snail lions, yellow eel loach with ginger, radish taro and amaranth stalks, watercress bean sprouts water thousands, blunt, chopping white fish, gurgling, killing chicken mother, chicken feathers three inches long, sesame oil poured fragrant, sesame oil poured seven or eight taels of even talk about the girl, don't be polite, Qingshui Maokeng "white flute", belly to eat swelling. ”

"What is singing on this stage, is it quite good?" Xueluo, who had just walked into the square, asked Mengzhi beside him while munching on the sizzling squid he bought from the roadside.

"It's supposed to describe the old man's birthday banquet, you see, there is meat, seafood, and vegetables. Isn't it just saying that the food is very rich, and the sentence 'belly is swollen' is to say that the guests and hosts are happy. ”

"Oh, how long is this going to be sung?" Xue Luo asked.

"You just arrived, thinking about when you are going to end, today is the last day, if the weather permits, if the rain is not heavy later, it is estimated that it may be dawn."

"Really, the people on that stage are too lucky. The people in the village should be accustomed to the life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, do you think there will be people who come here to listen to the play and hear the dawn? ”

”

"No matter where you are, there will always be a group of people whose habits are always in opposition to those around them. We live a life of sunrise and sunset, and some people sleep during the day and come out at night to play cards and poke mahjong. So those idlers still have time at night, and those on the stage, as long as there is an audience member who has not left, they must continue to sing. (To be continued.) )
