Five
About a quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the old man's house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The sight in front of info shocked a group of people from the city.
A fir house of about 70 square meters, even if it has just been covered with tung oil, but the house is still yellow and black under the washing of several rains, and a few places are rotten by insects. And a few steps away is the toilet and pigsty, piglets, chickens, ducks are all kept in a nest. The suffocating stench greeted the face, causing the three of Zishan, Yingying and Shuyu to retch. Changqing and the others could still endure it, parked their bicycles on the side, and put ingredients and other items under the eaves. The old man shouted to the inner room: "Old woman, come out, come as a guest, look at the handsome appearance of the baby in the city." ”
In a few moments, out of the back room came an old lady with gray hair, holding a child, whose gray cloth clothes were covered with mud. At first glance, I knew that it was a little Nezha who had just flowed mud pills. The uncle introduced to Changqing and them: "Here my mother-in-law, that kid is my grandson, and he is making a lot of noise, so you should be careful when you rest here." The purple shirt said, "It's okay, kid!" It's in my nature to be playful, and I'm still a normal student! It is inevitable that you will have to deal with children in the future. Chang Qing was surprised: "Aren't you studying Chinese?" Do you have to take care of children if you don't teach high school Chinese in the future? Zi Shirt was not happy and said: "I like children, I love them, and I want you to take care of them." ”
Zhiyong, Zhixiong and others sat under the eaves to rest after four turns, Yingying and Shuyu were already like female dogs who had just given birth to puppies, and they were so tired that they didn't pay attention to it, and they never got up after choosing a place to sit. The uncle took advantage of the purple shirt and the evergreen bickering, and the old woman went to the house to take out the futon and a few straw mats from his son's marriage, and while laying out the mats and futons in the hall, he said embarrassedly: "There are really not many bedding at home, these two beds will be given to a few girls, and you young men will be settled." Chang Qing's face was full of embarrassment, and said, "Uncle, we will make do with one night, you can quickly take the futon back!" We're in good shape, we can carry it,"
The uncle and mother-in-law insisted on laying out the quilt neatly, saying that it was windy, cold and buggy at night. Even if you don't worry about a few of them, you have to worry about a few girls. Purple Shirt and Changqing couldn't resist it, so they had no choice but to obey.
The next day, before dawn, Zishan, Yingying and Shuyu all woke up, complaining that there were a lot of insects on the ground last night, which made the whole body uncomfortable, plus none of the boys in this group did not snore, and they were in a half-awake state all night. So I woke up early in the morning and made an appointment to go for a walk, while the weather was still cool. Before they knew it, the three of them had come to a grove full of weeds, and their shoes were soaked with water droplets on the road, and they seemed to be indifferent at all.
As we walked, there was a sudden "hissing" sound in the grass. And the sound is getting louder and closer. They thought it was a big snake, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, and they just prayed that it would make a detour. Suddenly, a small head suddenly drooped out of the grass, and the three people in purple shirts jumped up in fright and shouted, "Ah! O snake demon! Help me! The "little head" immediately straightened up, still holding a scythe in his hand, and in the face of a roar, she was really frightened, and stood upright, her eyes widened, and she looked completely overwhelmed. The three of them in purple shirts saw that the "snake demon" was just a little girl, so they gradually calmed down, and at the same time regretted their stupid behavior and exaggerated behavior.
They walked slowly towards the undecided girl, whose eyes were still wide like a scarecrow, and she carried a basket larger than her body, and a sickle in her hand, and the pestle remained motionless. "Hello little sister! What's your name? How old are you this year? Purple Shirt asked kindly. But the girl only glanced at the purple shirt twice, and then remained motionless again.
"Your little sister is so rude, what about your beautiful sister asking you? Why don't you speak? Yingying asked, reaching out to touch the girl's little head. Before her hand touched the little girl's hair, the girl pulled the sickle into the basket on her back, and ran away like a wind, and the pigweed fell to the ground. Yingying said with a frightened face: "Why is the child in the mountains like this, it's so rude, my slender hand is still ・・・・・・" Shuyu interrupted: "It must be your rough big hands that scare other girls, fortunately, people run fast, or they will be touched by your iron sand palm." Yingying's face was dissatisfied, and she immediately retorted, so a century war began on the spot. Only the purple shirt was silent, looking at the back of the little girl leaving quickly, it was like a thousand catties of boulder had been buried in her heart, which made her lose all interest. The three of them returned to the old man's house and saw Changqing and a few people cleaning up the garbage caused by last night's barbecue, and Zhizhixiong and a few people were preparing to pack it. It turned out that Changqing and they were ready to return, and the original plan to return after three days in the countryside had to be advanced because they did not think of the special situation of Walnut Bay. Yingying and Shuyu were immediately overjoyed when they found out, they didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a while, and the bugs alone made them feel better last night. While they were still packing, Purple Shirt pulled Changqing aside and asked if he could accompany her around the village. Chang Qing received a special invitation from the goddess, and her happy soul ran away, nodding vigorously. He instructed Zhixiong to clean up and wait for them to come back before leaving together. Zhixiong and Zhiyong also wanted to follow the goddess together, but they couldn't withstand the repeated pushbacks of the purple shirt, so they had to stay with Yingying and Shuyu, the two living treasures.
Chang Qing and Purple Shirt walked towards the village in the morning glow and the frost and dew that had not yet faded, and met many people who were working in the fields with hoes along the way, and Purple Shirt greeted them warmly.
Unconsciously, the two came to the village committee, the village committee is a two-story small building made of green bricks, and one side of the second floor has not been smoothed with cement for some reason, and the green bricks are all exposed outside, and after being washed by rainwater, the surface has been covered with a layer of moss. They saw a middle-aged man with glasses squatting on the steps at the entrance on the first floor, smoking a dry cigarette. They guessed that it might be the village secretary or the village chief, because only such a knowledgeable cadre would wear glasses. When they first arrived, they didn't greet the middle-aged man, but walked around the village committee building and continued to walk forward.
After walking about half a mile, they found a simple house made of tarpaulin and wooden planks, and a layer of tung oil was smeared on the tarpaulin to protect it from rainwater. Zi Shirt thought that this simple greenhouse would be a small farm, and thought that there would be lambs or calves in it, she wanted to see these small animals with her own eyes, so she insisted on pulling Changqing to accompany her to take a look, and Changqing could only be at her mercy.
After getting closer, there was a sound of chirping from the greenhouse, and Purple Shirt thought it was the sound of the calves playing with each other, so his interest was even higher, and he started to trot by walking, but when he ran closer and listened to it, he couldn't help but surprise Purple Shirt and Evergreen. It turned out that the sound of chirping just now was the sound of a group of children reciting the "Book of Songs", because Mandarin is not standard, Mandarin and vernacular are mixed with each other, so it looks like the sound of a calf playing. Purple Shirt and Chang Qing curiously leaned on the wooden board and looked through the gap, the classroom was made of some wooden tables, brick chairs, about thirty or forty children from seven to twelve years old crowded into the small classroom, a sixty-year-old man with a wattle sticking in the classroom, carefully examining each child. Two or three children shared a handwritten book made of yellow paper, and each child carried a yellow cloth handbag on his back, carrying it like a baby, and none of the children left the yellow handbag on the ground at will. The blackboard is made of a flat wooden board with a layer of white lacquer, and he usually uses black charcoal to teach the children to write, wipe it clean with a damp cloth when they are finished, and continue to write when it is dry. One by one, the children all opened their mouths wide and recited aloud in a local accent.
Looking at this group of lovely children, Zishan and Changqing didn't feel good in their hearts, thinking that these lovely children were still so cheerful and full of sunshine under such difficult conditions, and they were not qualified to complain about the boredom and hustle and bustle of the city under favorable living conditions, let alone find ways to find places to play.
Just as Purple Shirt and Chang Qing were about to leave, they just turned their backs and suddenly found a small foot exposed on the side of the greenhouse. Purple shirt was curious, thinking that the old gentleman was letting the student stand for punishment. I wanted to go over and see the child alone, but when I got closer, I was surprised to find that the child was the little girl who was cutting pigweed in the forest early in the morning, still wearing the two pigtails, and was lying on the wooden board eavesdropping on the old gentleman's lesson! Probably listening too engagedly, the little girl didn't know that the purple shirt was already standing behind her. The purple shirt bent down and whispered, "Hello! Little sister! The little girl was so frightened by the sudden cry that she almost jumped up, and she was ready to slip away. But the purple shirt had already grabbed her shoulders. comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm just here to play, and there is no malice." The little girl turned her head and saw that it was one of the big sisters she had seen in the morning, and she slowly calmed down. gasped and said, "Why are you always scaring children!" Purple Shirt understood that the little girl was really frightened by them this morning, and said with a face full of shame: "I'm sorry! Little sister, my sister is wrong, I shouldn't have scared you this morning, it's all my sister's bad. By the way, what's your name? The little girl said indifferently: "My name is Sun Yuzhu, and I am seven years old." The purple shirt said curiously: "Why are you lying outside?" Can't you go in if you want to take a class? Yuzhu said helplessly: "Grandma didn't let me go to school, so I secretly lay outside, just now I thought that my grandma found me, and I was almost scared to death by you." Zi Shan said embarrassedly: "Hehe! I'm so sorry to scare my little sister ・・・・・・"
Yuzhu didn't wait for Zi Yi to finish speaking, then interrupted: "I have to go back, I haven't eaten breakfast yet!" Grandma will have to come out and look for me later. Before the purple shirt could react, Xiao Yuzhu ran away.
Originally, Zishan wanted Chang Qing to accompany him back to the village committee to have a second look, but he couldn't withstand Chang Qing's repeated persuasion, and he was afraid that he would have to suffer when the sun was big later, so he returned to the old man's house together. Seeing that the purple shirts were back, Yingying immediately complained: "Why have you been gone for so long!" But Miss Ben is miserable. Shuyu quipped: "Does the eldest lady have any new discoveries after some investigation?" Zi Shirt didn't pay much attention, but said slightly: "I think I'll come again." I don't know if I didn't hear it or deliberately ignored it, Yingying and Shuyu both stepped forward to pick up their bikes and prepare to go.
Everyone greeted the uncle and grandmother for a while, said some words of thanks and politeness, and then said goodbye and returned. Yingying and Shuyu both raised their heads, looked up at the sky, and roared loudly, "Chaoyang City, we are back!" ”
Only the purple shirt sat behind Chang Qing, his eyes looking at the distant Walnut Bay, as if there was a feeling of reunion in an instant. She silently felt in her heart that she might have been sucked out of her soul by this strange place.
