Chapter 26 The Lantern Festival
Hearing this, I couldn't help but interject: "You guys, is it big or small?" ”
The junior brother thought for a moment and confirmed, "Big!" Because 'you' speak leaky. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it a little more, I understood what my junior brother meant, I knocked out a big tooth from the earth's head, and after it became my appearance, a mouth must be leaking, but I immediately thought again, this is not right, why are they still talking? Isn't this talk exposed? Or does this earth-headed ejab have some ventriloquist imitation specialty? I couldn't wait to listen to it, so I urged my junior brother to hurry up.
The junior brother drank the water unhurriedly, and when he saw that my eyes were red when he stared at him, he put down the water cup and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm not talking about this...... If you want to talk about what happened next, don't say it's you, senior brother, even Mr. Huang, who is a storyteller under our old street, will never think of it. The junior brother smiled, and then said, "However, before that, I have to tell the senior brother a story." ”
At that time, my appetite had been hung up to my throat, but my junior brother still wanted to tell me stories, I couldn't hold back for a while, and I was so anxious that I raised my hand and wanted to pat Ya: "You fuck, is your skin itchy again?" ”
The junior brother gently dodged to the side, and my slap was empty, and the junior brother pulled my arm back and put it away, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, why are you more anxious than me?" The story I'm about to tell has a lot to do with what happened next, so why don't you listen to it before you decide whether to beat me up or not? ”
As soon as I heard it, it made sense, so I asked my junior brother to talk about it first, and if he didn't say it well, I still had to beat him. Senior Brother nodded, turned his head to look at the cold bench, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother, do you remember the story of the Blood Poison Man that Old Man Gao told us when he was a child?" ”
I nodded, it was when I was seven or eight years old, the Lantern Festival, I remember very clearly, the whole old street at night, the eaves of every household are hung with colorful lanterns, looking from afar, like two winding colorful dragons, this day is also extraordinarily many tourists, speaking a variety of local sounds, the children on the street are still carrying a small lantern in their hands, crowded in the gap between people and running around, not to mention how lively.
Unfortunately, the junior brother was sick that day, lying in bed with a high fever of 378 degrees, and after taking medicine at noon, he just got better, and the fever subsided and he woke up, but the master said that he would not let him go out to play. This was only six or seven years old at the time, it was worse than death, the younger brother turned over, looked at the door, there was a little wind and grass outside, which child ran over, and the little fat of the baked cake shop next door asked him to come out to play...... The junior brother raised his head and looked at the master, and when he saw the master shaking his head decisively, he could only quietly wipe his tears in the quilt.
The old man who sold the sugar gourd had a little girl named Ah Li, who wore two pigtails, and always liked to carry a string of tinkling copper bells on her wrist, I heard that her father left it to her mother, and her mother gave it to her when she died, in short, it was something very important to her. Once, when we were playing, Chubby accidentally ripped off the bell, Ah Li was so angry that she cried, and then she simply lay at the door of Chubby's house, so that people didn't even sell a baked cake all day, Chubby's parents really couldn't help it, and found my master, my master is well-known and well-informed on the old street, this question, there is really a way to repair. After repairing, the master asked me to send it to Xiaopang, but Xiaopang was afraid of the girl, so he asked me to send it, so Ah Li somehow remembered this favor on my head, from that day on, I followed my ass all day long, my brother was short, like a small tail, and I ate as much as I ate her rock sugar gourd, and I didn't charge money. No, I ate three sticks that night.
Stuffing the last sugar gourd, I burped, and if it wasn't for the panic, I could have continued to eat. At this moment, I suddenly heard a cat meowing in the alley next to me, and I jumped up from the ground and ran into the alley. This is my code with Chubby, since the bell incident, Chubby has not dared to appear in front of Ali, and this girl is pestering me tightly, so we discussed such a code.
Ah Li followed my ass with a lantern, stopped as she walked, and took a picture into the alley, which was dark, and she was a little afraid, so she asked me, "Brother Qianyi, where are you going?" ”
I turned around, shook the lantern with my hand, looked in front of me and said, "I've eaten too much, I'll go yo-yo food, you can go home." ”
"Where do you go for a walk, why don't you go to the streets?" As she spoke, Ah Li carried the lantern to both sides again, probably hesitating to follow.
At this time, the cat's meow sounded again, three short and one long, it was the little fat who was urging me, I gritted my teeth, opened my legs and ran out, turning my head and shouting as I ran: "Go back quickly, don't follow me!" "I didn't dare to run too far, first, I was afraid that Xiaopang wouldn't find me, and second, I also had to see if Ah Li had gone back, so I turned a corner and stopped. When I hid behind the corner and looked back, I was stunned to see another light on the other side of the alley, walking towards me.
What I was thinking of at the moment was Chubby, why did this kid get with Ah Li? When did they reconcile? I was about to jump out and scold him, but suddenly I noticed, no, Chubby is as tall as me, and the position of the lantern should be near the waist, and Ah Li is a head shorter than us, it stands to reason that the lantern should be one head shorter than us, but these two lanterns, although they are one in front and one behind, but the height is the same, both in the position below my waist, so I conclude that the person behind must not be Chubby.
I suddenly became nervous, although we often came to this alley during the day, but it was the first time that it was dark at night, and in my impression, I never remembered any playmate who was as tall as Ah Li, whose child would it be? Why did she follow Ah Li in the middle of the night, does Ah Li know?
My goosebumps immediately lifted, and my ears sounded like listening to a book A ghost story told by Mr. Huang, what Lanruo Temple, ghosts blowing out lanterns, orphans complaining...... Although I don't believe in ghosts, it doesn't mean that I'm not afraid of ghosts, listening to the sound of the bell getting closer and closer, my heart pounded faster and faster, at this time, suddenly someone slapped me from behind, I was startled, took a breath of cool air, cold sweat flowed on my head, the lantern in my hand fell to the ground with a bang, at this time, the bell sound also stopped, I swallowed nervously and spit, looked down at the lantern, and then, I saw a hand stretched out and put it on the lantern.
It was a long, thin hand, with countless folds on the flesh, and some black spots, tightly wrapped around the bones, I was really frightened, I didn't dare to gasp, let alone look back, just stood there stunned, cold sweat like Baotu Spring. At this time, a low and old voice came from behind: "Be careful, don't catch fire." The sound was like coming out of a crack in the ground, and I shivered with fear, and then he handed over the lantern, and there was only one thought in my heart: Run!
At that time, my legs were already scared and weak, and I was shivering, and I couldn't run fast at all, plus I didn't choose the way to go, and I didn't run two steps before I made a bang, and I collided with something, and then the thing screamed "oops", I heard it, isn't this a li? Hurriedly pulled her up, at this time, the lamp behind her also stood up, my brain exploded with a buzz, damn, I really just got out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth, why am I so fucking unlucky!
Ah Li didn't know her situation yet, and when she saw that it was me, she hugged my arm and cried: "Brother Qianyi, don't go, I'm so scared alone......"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." I took her hand, while staring at the ghost fire, while paying attention to the movement behind, at this time, the ghost fire suddenly moved, running towards me quickly, I sighed in my heart, yelled "run", grabbed Ah Li and rushed out, who knew that just a few steps away, it banged, bumped into a soft and hard thing, butt followed by the fall on the ground and broke the flower, look up, my mother, in front of the dim light, is standing a thin figure, black, with an old ingot hat on the head, under the hat, It is a thin face, half bright and half dark, and the beads of the two eyes are so cloudy that I can't distinguish between the whites of the eyes and the pupils, and I look at you in a chaotic way, my old lady, and I am so frightened that my hairs explode.
Ah Li almost fainted with fright, hiding in my arms, trembling vigorously, when I heard the black shadow say: "It's all here, let's start." Then, a small black shadow flashed behind the black shadow, and the little black shadow raised his hand and pointed in my direction: "I thought you weren't coming." My heart trembled, and I was stunned, and when I looked back in the direction of his finger, goosebumps exploded in an instant, damn, when did the ghost fire follow?
