Chapter 32: The Kite
The rain always comes and goes at this time, and the swallows and sparrows hurry back to their newly built nests, or find a place to spend the night under the eaves.
The rain is also in a hurry, from Stratocumulus to the horizon.
"You come to the world, you want to see the sun."
The rain could not be seen, and she was only responsible for washing.
Drifting away with the clouds, falling scattered and disorderly with the wind.
Falling to the earth, the ground is grayish brown like fallen leaves.
There is so much to carry in this land.
Homeless wild dogs, rusty broken blades, blood-infused mud and sand, half-rotten limbs and flesh in the spring mud! The white bones that refuse to decay under the dust......
A kite shaped like a bird, broken from its strings, without a nest or an eaves, could not escape the rain and let out a ticking wail. Finally, it was planted in mid-air.
The rain can't be heard, she just needs to slap.
Can't hide from ......
"It's raining for no reason!"
Uchiha Yoshiba returned to the shop, and as soon as his heels fell, the rain fell sparsely and gradually became heavier.
After complaining in a rough voice, Jibo began to bring in some unsheltered goods, and when he saw that the rain was getting heavier, he hurriedly covered some of the goods that could not be carried for the time being with a tarpaulin.
The bazaar was much colder in a blink of an eye, and everyone went back to hide from the rain.
"I knew that there was this rain, so I took the opportunity to buy a batch of rain gear, and maybe I could make a small fortune!"
Jibo thought about it, huh? Since Iwana can predict rain, it would be nice to let him tell me no in advance next time!
"That's a good idea! But today there are fewer and fewer people, which is a loss! ”
Thinking of this, Jibo shouted at the next door again, "Hey! Degree, did I sell anything during my absence? Don't cut off my beard, you kid! ”
"Old money fan! There is no one, just your rags, no one wants them at all. ”
Du was lying on the wooden recliner he had recently made, and he didn't look back.
In fact, two people came, and he himself said, "If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't buy it, get out!" "Driven away!
This must not be their own problem, it must be that Lao Jibo's things are not good, otherwise people will be able to stop them if they want to buy them?
Anyway, this recliner is so comfortable, it's been so many days, why doesn't anyone know the goods?
"Hey! You stinky boy! I'm only thirty-three years old, so you dare to scold me for being old? Return the money fans! Do you know how to respect your predecessors? ”
There was the sound of swearing and the sound of unlocking and checking drawers from next door.
Jibo doesn't speak very well, and everyone is scolded by a stinky boy and a boy! The scar on his face looks scary, and he is a money fan, and the people in the bazaar are not merciful to him, but it is limited to his mouth.
Jibo has had a grocery store since his grandfather's generation, and when he was seven years old, he followed his father in the store, and he was also the oldest and oldest person in the market.
More than ten years ago, the Uchiha lost a war, and the Jibo father and son took the initiative to go to the front line with a sword!
After the war, Jibo returned to the bazaar, but did not see his father.
The teenage boy took care of the grocery store back and forth with a cane, pulling the scar on his face, smiling and welcoming and sending away batches of customers, most of his life without a wife, no children and no daughters! In his own words, "Money is my own son!" ”
But if anyone in the bazaar is having a hard time, he will help him, and if he loses something, he will also use his connections to check and find it for everyone. Whether it's the furniture store or Shizuka's weapon shop on the other side, Jibo didn't take care of the business when it opened!
By the way, Jibo's wooden prosthetic leg has been maintained for several years.
In the rain curtain, the rock cracked and stepped on the water on the ground and walked very quickly, one hand on his head to try to block the rain, the appearance looked quite funny, passing by the grocery store, without saying a word went in to hide from the rain.
"Hey, Iwa, you bastard! I'm not here for you to hide from the rain! ”
Jibo was taking off his shoes to check his prosthetic leg, and when he saw Iwa breaking in, he couldn't help but curse, and even the scar on his face became hideous for a while.
"Old money fan!" Yan replied, not caring at all, and picked up three pieces of candy casually.
Ji Bo suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to Yan, "Chenghui, nine taels!" ”
"Wow! Old fellow, you're getting darker! You've only been raising the price so much in just a few days! ”
"Hey! What do you call me black? It's your daughter's debt! I haven't calculated interest with you yet! ”
Yan was a little confused, what happened to Guan Qiannai? He asked, tentatively, "When?" ”
Jibo shrugged, "It's today, I don't believe you ask the degree next door!" ”
Iwa looked next door and turned his head with an unhappy expression.
The people in the bazaar basically know that the rock and the degree do not deal with each other!
At the beginning, Iwa bought a few stools and a cradle from Du, and it happened that the manager of Jiba was in business, so Iwa took a stool into the store to sit and chat. Rock is also considered unlucky, although the quality of the things is poor, but there are also good and bad, and the rock has picked the worst one! As soon as I sat down, the legs of the stool broke! It's still two legs folded together!
Iwa looked at the other stools again, and there seemed to be no problem, and then at the cradle, he tossed twice with his strength and fell apart! Yan couldn't sit still on the spot and reasoned with him in the shop! Attract a crowd of onlookers! Everyone knows that they have cut corners!
It is said that children are not as energetic as adults, and this quality is okay. Although this is true, it is another thing to be caught!
In the end, I gave a full refund, and swore that I would buy things in the future and I would be 7% off, so I gave up!
But Liangzi is finished! Since then, Iwa has been picking wool at a seven-fold price from time to time, and in order not to be sucked wool, he has been trying to recommend the worst quality things to Iwa......
The store manager explained the whole story to Iwa, including the woman, and did not hide it. When children encounter this kind of thing, they must let the adults in the family know to take more precautions. Yoshiba tells China that he will keep it a secret, but in the same way, how can a child trust a sinister adult?
Ji Bo mercilessly took the last nine taels on the rock, as for whether this will make the financial situation of the rock even worse, Ji Bo said that it was his business!
Then he took out another umbrella and handed it to Iwa.
"It's a loan from you, hurry up and get out, don't crowd in my store and disturb my business!"
"The old guy is so kind?" Iwazui said this, but he took the umbrella in his hand.
Jibo didn't mean to take the umbrella back, and snorted coldly, "Don't pull it down!" If it weren't for the fact that you had no money, I would have to charge you rent if you didn't buy it! ”
"Cut!"
"Anyway, the stinky boy has children, and he is as reckless as before! Forgot to bring rain gear when you knew it was going to rain? ”
Rock hesitated for a moment, when did he know it was going to rain? But then his face was as usual, covering up the past, so that people could not see the flaws.
"Humph! Probably because someone always liked to knock me on the head when I was a kid! As a result, I can forget to buy soy sauce for two or three days now! ”
Mr. Jibo knocked a finger on the rock!
"Your dad knocked less than me? If you want to blame you, you have to blame your dad first! ”
"Then I'll go back, and your leg is fine, right?" He glanced at Jibo's prosthetic leg again, "I heard that this kind of injury hurts in the bones when it rains!" ”
"I don't know my own legs? Fake! I really care about bringing more money and buying more things next time! ”
Yan smiled and scolded an old money fan!
"Go home early! The whole market is deserted after the rain, and there is probably no business today, don't give an old bone here! I'm leaving! ”
"Stinky boy!"
The back of Iwa's hurried departure quickly disappeared into the rain.
"It's deserted at home......"
Jibo sighed, and suddenly an idea popped up, won't China tell me that it is going to rain because of her legs, right?
How could it be! Jibo laughed to himself, and the thought dissipated.
There was a clear smile between his eyebrows.
What a good girl!
In the corner where Iwa and Jiba couldn't see, the figure of a woman emerged from the darkness, holding the child in her arms, letting the rain fall on her body, one hand gently patting the child in her arms like a machine, her eyes fixed on the direction of Iwa's departure......
When Iwa returned home, he happened to see China standing under a tree with an umbrella.
Following China's gaze, Iwatsu saw a yellow kite on the top of the tree, shaped like a bird.
"So whose kite is this? It's not cheap! ”
In the house, Iwa and China surrounded this exquisitely made kite, the skeleton of the kite was strong and tough, and even oiled paper was used! It's just that the wings are so badly made! How can there be almost round wings?
No one came to claim it until dark.
"Manager Jibo said don't take other people's things casually!" China looked up at Iwa.
Iwa couldn't help but laugh, "Then put it at the door!" Its owner will take it back himself when he sees it. ”
China nodded.
Then he went back to the living room, ready to be scolded......
In the middle of the night, it was very windy.
A hand as black as ink reached out from the rain curtain and picked up the kite with unmistakable accuracy in the dark night.
"Actually fell here, is it a coincidence?"
The voice is very soft, but it is indescribably sharp!
The black body was like a thick, turbid liquid, wriggling like a maggot.
"Although there were some mistakes in the original plan, it didn't matter."
The dark shadow looked up, and seemed to see a sleeping family through the doorway.
"Please enjoy the last two days in this world!"
The shadow let go of his hand, letting the kite land on the ground, and turned away.
"Hahahahaha!"
The eerie, low maniacal laughter echoed! It's like some kind of empty shell filled with great joy and excitement!
The black shadow raised his head with a smile, but at this moment it was put to rest, like a realistic sculpture frozen in mid-air......
There was no light in the night sky except for the drizzling rain and dark clouds.
"Mother~" a hoarse call came from the black shadow's throat.
"Mother! Where are you? ”
The voice of the black shadow became panicked and mournful!
"I can't see you anymore~ Mother! Where are you? ”
The black impact stumbled along like a lost soul, calling for "Mother"!
One stumbled, and the shadow tripped up.
A woman in white was lying in the cold rain, confused and angry.
The shadow pounced! Lift the woman up from the ground.
"Mother! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Mother! I can't afford to lose you again! ”
The black shadow wiped the rain from the woman's face, but found that it couldn't correspond to the face in her memory at all! He suddenly screamed! Threw the woman in white to the ground!
"It's not! No! You're not a mother at all! You're an impostor! ”
"Ugh!"
Once again, the woman fell into the rain, her head slamming into the ground!
The black shadow was prostrate on the ground, as if crying.
"Mother! Where are you? I miss you so much! Mother! ”
The rain was running through his fingers, and he noticed.
"That's it! It was raining, so I couldn't see my mother! ”
"Yes, my mother is in captivity, I want to rescue my mother! I'm going to make Haromo and Hamura pay! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The dark shadow suddenly began to get excited!
"Indra! Asura! Right, right! I'm going to find Indra! Take advantage of him! ”
"That's right! Indra has been reincarnated! Soon! Mother, soon I will be able to rescue you! ”
"At that time! You'll definitely hug me! ”
"Ah~ so happy, I feel so happy! It's like I'm dying! ”
The dark shadow was nervously intoxicated in his own imaginary embrace.
The next moment, his gaze fell on the woman in white, and he suddenly became cold!
"I'm dying, for the sake of the plan, this impostor's body will be in place for a while, after all, it's also troublesome to dispose of corpses."
The black shadow gradually turned into liquid and fell to the ground, and at the same time, the body of the woman in white stood up in a strange posture from her feet!
The woman walked into the rain with her arms around her arms, patting her empty bosom and muttering "Mother ~ Mother" in her mouth.
The next morning, the rain had stopped.
"How so?"
Iwa turned his head to China again, "There's no way to return it in this way, so let's throw it away!" If you think we've broken it, you'll be in trouble if you want to make a claim! ”
Speaking of this, Iwa couldn't help but touch his shriveled money bag and sighed.
China crouched down and picked up the kite.
The kite was completely deformed, with several scratches that looked like sharp objects, and some places were crumpled together, and even the skeleton was broken in several places.
"Who did that?"
"I don't know, it's probably a wild cat outside! I've heard that wild cats grind their claws! ”
Iwa said casually.
Chinashin said, it doesn't look like a cat.
But when I think of the cat, I think of the lie I told yesterday, and I can't help but think, maybe it's still blue!
Far away on the beach, a giant feline covered in blue flames couldn't help but sneeze!
Sure enough, it's still too cold on the beach!
Miao, didn't you say that you would like to invite me to seafood?
I've been waiting for half a month! Haven't caught it yet?
You're not going to fall asleep again, are you?
Futao tried to reach his paw underwater, and a puff of white smoke came out of the water! Immediately retracted again, and couldn't help but shudder!
I just wondered, why is it so hard to eat a fish?
Alas, life is not easy, the cat sighs!
At home, China tries to put the broken skeleton back together.
Iwa smiled and patted China's head, "If you want to keep it, keep it and play, don't run out by yourself today!" Your mom was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night! ”
"yes, I see!" China's head didn't return.
Seeing that China was more interested in kites, Iwa didn't say anything.
"Then I'm out of the house!"
China fiddled with the skeleton expressionlessly, as if she had finally figured out a suitable pattern.
Then he broke them off one by one and threw them into the pyre.
The shape of the kite's wings is clearly - Senju of the forest!
