The old man was about to turn his face with the others, making a fuss, Xiao Nan saw this, and hurriedly said: "This old man, let's talk when we have time in the future, I see that you are drunk, go and rest first." ”

He said so, and Master Cai immediately called the family to come over and help the old man down. So everyone continued to push the cup and change the lamp, and they were jubilant.

And the flowing water seats outside are even more lively like a festival, and almost every household in the town has sent people to attend. This town is not big, the so-called "town" is also a prosperous area surrounded by three or four small villages nearby, it can be said that the families who can live in this town are themselves in the vicinity of this small area are good families.

Of course, this is relative, and it can't be compared with the rich people in Xiaocheng, but in this era, it is just a well-off family with surplus food and no worries about food, drink and clothing.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Nan said a few words to Master Cai, and Master Cai nodded again and again, then stood up and waved his hand and announced: "Everyone be quiet!" Thirteen has few things to announce! ”

He shouted a few times, and everyone in his compound finally stopped talking and looked at this side.

Xiao Nan asked Xiao Fang to announce, Xiao Fang's voice was bright, and he was relieved of his effort.

I saw Xiao Fang step on a bench and stand up and said loudly: "Today is my young master who brought the young lady to visit the Cai family, and everyone in the town is warmly invited, so the young master and the major general also want to return the favor." We have brought the most fashionable movie drama in the West today, please gather in the small square of the town at eight o'clock after eating, and set up a stage to show the play there, everyone can come and see, for three consecutive days, bring your own bench and chairs! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the people below applauded. At this time, China's film industry was just starting, and the films recorded were all silent films, and the popular ones abroad were silent films. Outside music is required.

But rich people, like Xiao Mansion, already have their own projection equipment, and almost every young master's yard has a set of such equipment, which is played in private theaters on weekdays. Xiao Nan had an idea at that time, and sure enough, he found these things in the place where Sixteen Shao lived, and those subordinates didn't take them away when they cleaned up their belongings, probably not knowing what they were. So he asked the major general to bring this set of projection equipment and set up an open-air theater for everyone to have fun.

After all, in the 21st century, open-air cinemas have become romantic memories that can only appear in reminiscences.

It is conceivable that in this era, the open-air movie turned out to be more lively than the social drama written by Lu Xun, which is a great novelty of excitement and fun for the locals whose entertainment methods are very unmodern.

After Xiao Fang said the news, in addition to the applause of the Cai family relatives in the courtyard, the children cheered and died of joy, and the people on the long street outside ran to tell each other after learning about it.

After Young Master Cai learned the news, he didn't care about eating, and secretly pushed his one of the few bicycles in the town and slipped away through the back door.

It turned out that he had gone to report to one of the most remote families in town, who had only one daughter, who was his crush. He didn't expect that Thirteen Young would come to show a movie, so he naturally wanted to bring his favorite girl to watch it together.

However, after Master Cai found out that his son was gone, he was very annoyed, and he was angry with the servant on the side, he had already set up a family affair for Young Master Cai, and Young Master Cai did not like the rich lady he designated, but liked the poor girl who was in love freely.

This dinner party was eaten from five o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening, which was extremely warm, Xiao Nan left the venue in advance and went to his room to rest.

His residence was carefully arranged by Master Cai, vacating the house where Master Cai lived on weekdays, and someone specially boiled water for bathing, and made a large basin of hot water to send to the back of the screen in his house.

That kind of wooden basin is half a person high, Xiao Nan only has one leg, and he sprained his foot, he can't enter the basin to take a bath at all, so he has to ask Ah Cheng to carry him into the basin, wash it and then carry it out.

After washing, the basin of hot water could not be wasted, and Ah Cheng had to continue washing. Hot water is also a valuable resource in such a place, after all, it is not easy to boil a large pot of hot water.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Nan turned his wheelchair to the screen and said, "Ah Cheng, you will stay here to accompany Meilan in a few days." I may have something very important in the Xiao family these days, and I am afraid that it will affect you. ”

Ah Cheng had just wiped the water on his body, and he was so shocked that he didn't even bother to put on his clothes, so he said, "Young master! What can I do without you? Can Xiao Fang take good care of you? He's running around every day! Your legs and waist must be massaged regularly! ”

"It's okay, I'm for you and Meilan's good, when it's over, I'll send a telegram to call you back." Xiao Nan said, "It's just a month." ”

Ah Cheng didn't think much about it, it was always what Xiao Nan said he listened to, so he nodded and said, "Then you must take care of yourself!" ”

After that, he hurriedly got dressed, pushed Xiao Nan to the bed, and after carrying him to the bed, he began to do the evening massage. Xiao Nan's stump is always immobile and will gradually atrophy, so during the massage, he will also do a lot of autonomous exercises with the help of Ah Cheng, but he will not do it in front of people on weekdays, because it will make people feel very strange to always shake the stump of the thigh.

In fact, he didn't know what the point of doing this was, no matter how well he trained his residual limb, it was impossible to walk on two legs. It's just that since the amputation, I have become accustomed to such exercises.

When Ah Cheng finished massaging him, he said, "I'm tired, you go to the movies." I want to rest first. ”

Obviously, he personally created a grand festival, but in the end, he himself was in a mood.

Ah Cheng had to put down the mosquito net for him and said, "I'm not going, I'm on the Luohan bed over there, young master, call me if you need it." This is no more inconvenient than the Xiao family, what you do with this body. ”

Xiao Nan had no choice but to say, "It's really bothering you." ”

"Young Master, where is this?" Ah Cheng said and turned off the light.

Xiao Nan slightly cocked his stump in the dark and stroked, after these months of getting along, Ah Cheng and him have a tacit understanding, as if he has completely replaced his leg, even if his left foot is injured, Ah Cheng can still make him not feel any inconvenience in his movement. If you leave Ah Cheng, I am afraid that you will fall into a situation where your movement is extremely inconvenient.

It's just that he can't let Ah Cheng and Meilan fall into the horror incident a month later. They must not be allowed to stay in Xiao Cheng when the entire Xiao City is likely to be affected by that "experiment".

That night, the whole town seemed to be really excited, and the noise came from the windows.

Xiao Nan gradually fell into a deep sleep in this noise, and dreamed strange dreams in his sleep, with his own vague childhood, bizarre monsters, distorted buildings and streets, and finally all the scenes disappeared in the dream, leaving only a lake in the darkness.

There are two figures on the shore of the lake, I don't know what they are talking about, although the lake is shining, everything is like a silhouette, only the outline can be seen, not clear.

The two men finally left the lakeshore and seemed to have thrown something into the lake.

And after they left, the originally calm lake surface rippled, and the ripples gradually expanded, and finally formed a whirlpool, and many waterspouts rose from the lake, like pillars connecting heaven and earth, and in an instant, heaven and earth hung upside down, and he looked up, only to see that the sky was a lake, and he continued to fall into the darkness.

There was a huge human face rising from the surface of the lake, facing him.

In an instant, Xiao Nan opened his eyes and was awakened by this terrifying dream.

And this dream, which did not seem very long, lasted all night, and when he woke up, he found that it was already dawn.

It's as if time has passed.

He scratched his head, it seemed that he had never had such an immersive nightmare since he had traveled to the Republic of China.

Is it because the sight of the lake yesterday produced some kind of afterimage?

His pajamas were soaked with sweat, so he had to get up early in the morning and take a shower.

Ah Cheng got up early, he knew that Xiao Nan had the habit of bathing, so he had already asked the kitchen to boil the water, and then served him to bathe.

When taking a bath, Xiao Nan asked him to help wash his head by the way, and Ah Cheng said while helping him wash his hair: "Young master, you screamed so loudly last night." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Nan asked suspiciously.

"You talk in your dreams, what kind of lake is it. It's like you've been by something. Ah Cheng said, "But you slept soundly in the second half of the night, so I didn't wake you up." ”

"Did I sleep and talk in my sleep?" Xiao Nan asked again.

"You used to sleep honestly."

"That's weird."

"Is this place not clean? Why don't we go back to the city? Ah Cheng said heartily, "I heard that this kind of countryside is easy to make fox fairies or something......

"Don't talk nonsense, fox fairy, that's all superstition! I'm just tired of driving and riding! Xiao Nan said, "Today, we still go to the mountains and rivers according to the original plan." ”

"Okay, you are the master, you have the final say." Ah Cheng said, "Last night, I heard that the whole town was so happy, and the American movie was so good." It's going to be released tonight, and the surrounding villages have heard about it, and it is estimated that more people will come here. As soon as you come, this small place becomes ten times more lively. ”

"This is the onlooker effect. If you seize the business opportunity, you can make a lot of money! Xiao Nan said, "For example, selling popcorn or something." ”

"You're saying something we don't understand again." Ah Cheng said with a smile.

After eating the breakfast with local characteristics, Young Master Cai, who was wearing suspenders and shirts, happily came to Xiao Nan, saying that he would take him out to visit the scenery, and there was a beautiful girl in a simple dress who came with him, Young Master Cai introduced: "This is my friend, Yuzhen, and a few more of my friends will go with me later." ”

"Won't Major General Winter go with you?" Xiao Nan asked.

"We invited him, but he didn't seem interested." Young Master Cai's tone of speech is like a person who has received a new type of education, and there is a kind of vitality exclusive to young people, this kind of person should be quite popular among young people, it can be seen from the way Yuzhen looks at him.

"Ha, I guess he is also Yixing, and he was originally forcibly pulled over by me." Xiao Nan smiled, "Don't worry about him." ”

"Thirteen young men, you are really powerful, you even said that you brought in the famous major general." Yuzhen fiddled with her braids and said with a smile, "It's the first time I've seen someone as capable as you. ”

"Am I not? Didn't you always say that I was handsome and handsome, the most outstanding young man in the whole of Jiahu County? "Young Master Cai is quite unconvinced.

"You're so arrogant! When did I say that! ”

So the two young men started laughing and joking.

Seeing this group of young people who were like students in his university, Xiao Nan felt a trace of nostalgia.

It seems that away from Xiao Cheng, people have become much purer.

Jiahu County's "tourism project" is still very colorful in Xiao Nan's view, Young Master Cai is very popular in the local area, there are many partners of the same age, a large group of young people also brought their younger brothers and sisters, and surrounded Xiao Nan to visit several local scenic spots, such as the lotus scenery on the lakeside, the colorful valley full of wildflowers, laughter and laughter along the way, it is really a posture for young people to go outing.

For fun, they deliberately drove the kind of roofless carriage, the carriage naturally belonged to the Cai family, let Xiao Nan sit in the car, and Xiao Nan was in the car with them, as well as their own lunch ingredients, firewood, and even a guitar.

It turns out that the closest thing to the lake district is not Jiahu County, but the surrounding lakeside villages. The people reclaim fertile land here, fish and weave, if you put aside the environment of the times, it is really a peaceful and contented life.

What is commendable is that this group of young people, regardless of status, did not welcome him because of Xiao Nan's identity, but simply regarded him as a friend, Xiao Nan's special teacher temperament also infected them, and through his talented conversation, he quickly won their favor. In this small area, everyone doesn't seem to have too many worries and treats people sincerely.

I just don't know how long such "happiness" can last in the coming war years?

There is no doubt that compared to the kind of villages and towns where Wanyue was located where Xiao Nan had been, Jiahu County is a very special place, and in this cloudy era, it is a little too incredible, it is like a living idyll.

The happiest activity is naturally fishing in a boat, Xiao Nan has a disability and can't move, the whole process is carried or carried by others, and everyone takes good care of him. When he sat on the boat, there were also people who held his waist to prevent him from bumping into it.

A young man from a fisherman's family jumped into the water from the boat and performed a live performance of catching fish with his bare hands, which made everyone applaud. The fish he caught were indeed fat, and the smallest weighed five or six pounds, and was still alive and kicking when he threw it into the hold. When everyone subdued these fish, Xiao Nan was surprised to find that the local fish scales all had a kind of gilt gold color, and some of the fish scales were completely golden, bright and reflective.

Young Master Cai introduced: "This is our Jiahu County specialty of the golden scale carp, the taste is particularly delicious, but this kind of fish in other places can not be raised, can only grow in our lake, this kind of fish is difficult to catch on weekdays, today I don't know if it is Ali's good technology or our luck, a few are caught." Maybe it's because this season is the season when goldfish gather to spawn, so they all get together! ”

"Of course I'm skilled!" The swarthy young man who was fishing in the water laughed, "It's also your mouth." ”
