Chapter Twenty-Seven: Not Twenty Years Old
At this moment, the door seemed to be swept into a gust of wind, and then an angry voice came: "Chu Li, you bastard, you dare to lie to me, do you know who I am?" ……”
I was already a little upset, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the dead fat man standing in front of my bed with a puff, panting, pointing at me, and calling me a bastard.
My temper also came up all of a sudden, and I scolded: "Hurry up and get out of me, Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, do you really think that Lao Tzu can't clean you up like this?" ”
The fat dead man was stunned for a moment when he heard me say this. Then he shouted loudly: "You, you, you dare to call yourself Lao Tzu? Do you know who my dad is? ”
"What's the matter, your dad is Li Gang?"
"My dad is Cai Dacheng......."
This name makes me feel a little familiar, Cai Dacheng? …… Uncle Cheng.
I'm going to go. I turned my head to look at the dead fat man in front of me, and he said that Uncle Cheng is his old man, so isn't he...... Cai Huan?
I looked at him carefully, but I couldn't match the figure of my childhood with the dead fat man in front of me anyway.
I asked, disbelievingly, "Are you... Lao Cai? ”
He snorted and said, "What do you think?" I came to visit you as soon as possible, but I didn't expect you to do this to me, it made me sad ....... ”
After getting Lao Cai's affirmation, I also became a little excited. I didn't expect that this person was actually the iron buddy who dug birds' nests and caught sparrows with me when I was a child.
That is, when I was seven years old, I chased an injured sparrow and ran to the back mountain, and was stunned by the big red-robed female ghost in my dream.
Unfortunately, it was that year that the village set off a craze for migrant workers. Lao Cai's parents also went out, and a year later, Lao Cai's two siblings were also taken out.
I haven't heard from Lao Cai since. It's just that later, I occasionally heard from an insider in the village that Lao Cai's father, that is, Uncle Cheng in my mouth, opened a company over there, and it was very good.
But how did Lao Cai end up here? I was a little confused, so I asked, "Why did you come back?" When was this. ”
Lao Cai pursed his lips and said, "I just arrived last night and heard about you, so didn't I come to see you for the first time?" I just didn't expect it....... ”
Lao Cai covered his chest a little painfully, his expression was like a wronged girl, beating his chest while pointing at me, with a look of pear blossoms and rain.
I smiled, and I wanted to kick him twice if I could move. At the same time, I also have some feelings in my heart: Lao Cai is still the same Lao Cai, although he has grown fat, ugly, and stupid. But he's still the same character, and he's still so badly beaten.
I asked him again what he was doing this time and when he was going to leave. He told me that there were two main reasons for coming back this time, the first was that his father was going to repair and widen the road in the village. The second thing is to relocate his family's ancestral grave.
If his career is successful, he will return to his hometown to repair his ancestral grave, which is understandable. Repairing the road to help the villagers shows that Uncle Cheng is affectionate and righteous. But why did Lao Cai come back with him? It's not a holiday.
So I asked again, "What about your studies, don't tell me that you don't study anymore, do you?" ”
"How so?" Lao Cai shook his sassy hair and said: "This time I begged my dad for a long time before he agreed to let me come back to school, don't you know, Xiaoli, I'm tired of staying at the school over there." If you want to study, you can study hard, you have to learn this and that, all kinds of tutorial classes, exam classes, and I feel tired and want to die. ”
"At first, my dad said to find me a relationship and send me to the county No. 1 middle school. I won't go anywhere when I meet you this time, I'm going to go to the experimental middle school, I'm going to your class. I'm going to sit at a table and sleep in a bed with you....... ”
The more Lao Cai spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end I couldn't listen to it anymore. After letting him talk like this, the next picture is a little easy to misunderstand.
So I hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, what words come out of your mouth can change the taste, what did you just eat in the toilet?" ”
……。
Maybe it's really in response to that sentence, there is a fat man next to each protagonist. Lao Cai's arrival is undoubtedly the implementation of my protagonist's name.
Lao Cai and I talked a lot, some of them interesting stories from our childhood, and some of them were his experiences of going to school in a big city. Although there are a lot of braggadocio elements in it, I still listened to him quietly.
Compared to his experience, my previous life was completely like a pig eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating. I don't even know where to start if I want to brag about it. The only two exorcism experiences that I could take out ended in a bleak ending, and I was too embarrassed to mention it myself.
……。
In the back, Xie Min really didn't come again, and he didn't even come for a few days after. I regret that I inadvertently hurt her with my brainless words, and I want to slap myself twice. But I couldn't do anything while lying in the hospital bed, so I could only wait for the injury to heal before finding a more suitable opportunity to apologize to her.
I don't expect to be forgiven by her, but at least I can redeem some of my impression in her heart. Even I thought about it, and if it really didn't work, I would tell her the truth. It's tiring to be alone, and it seems like it's not bad for me to find someone to talk to. Take 10,000 steps back, even if she doesn't believe what I say and thinks I'm crazy, it will be a little bit of compensation for her unilaterally for me, and my heart will feel better.
The time with Lao Cai's bragging passed quickly, and before I knew it, the sky had darkened.
And my grandson's grandfather finally came to see me, and with him came a sloppy old man. My grandfather said that this was the old friend he told me about who had just returned from out of town.
What surprised and puzzled me was that this old man was the same old man I met when I bought cinnabar yellow paper, and cursed me to die early.
When I saw him, I was stunned at first, then a little displeased, and just as I was about to speak, my cold sweat instantly followed.
Because something suddenly flashed through my mind when I saw the old man. The last time I met him, he said that I would have a catastrophe in seven days, and although it would be dangerous, the final result would be terrifying, and he said that the key was a cat.
I remembered the meow I heard when I was about to die under Zhang Yanli's claws, and the white shadow that was so fast that I couldn't see it clearly.
It seemed that the old man was right, although I didn't see what was saving me, but I heard the cat call too clearly.
And the reason why I was in a cold sweat was that the old man also said that when I was twenty years old, there was a death calamity, and that calamity was ten deaths.
If this incident is not a coincidence, but if the old man really has real skills, then I really won't live to be twenty years old as the old man said.
I looked at the old man and was speechless for a long time.
And when the old man saw me, his expression changed and became ugly.
My grandfather saw the two of us like this and asked, "What's wrong?" Do you know? ”
The old man turned his head to look at my grandfather and nodded bitterly. looks like he wants to speak and stops.
My grandfather was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something. His face changed suddenly, his body trembled a little, he pointed to the old man beside him, and asked with some reluctance: "You won't tell him that, will you?" ”
The old man nodded bitterly again. Then my grandfather was angry all of a sudden, he grabbed the old man's collar, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged up all of a sudden, and said angrily: "You bastard, didn't you promise that Lao Tzu wouldn't mess around?" You're a pit Lao Tzu, aren't you? ”
"I didn't, ah... I'm not, I didn't know he was your grandson, he's grown so big, I didn't recognize him for a while...... Yes. ”
The old man was answered by a punch from my grandfather's rage.
……。
I looked at the two figures pulling and pulling in front of me, and my mind suddenly went blank. It turned out that what the sloppy old man said turned out to be true, I really didn't live to be twenty years old. Perhaps, I shouldn't believe it, after all, what age is it, we should believe in science. But believing in science is something I can't even say myself.
The sound of "buzzing" kept ringing in my head, and my whole heart was in a mess, and I suddenly wanted to be quiet.
So I shouted, "Don't fight, bother? ……”
Hearing me speak, my grandfather's movements suddenly stopped. He hurriedly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, comforting me: "Xiaoli, don't listen to this old man's nonsense, grandpa will have a way to save you, grandpa will definitely have a way, as long as I find the legendary thing, I can cover the heavens to save you, you must ......." ”
I shook my head, still a little unacceptable in my heart, and interrupted, "Grandpa, is what he said true?" ”
My grandfather was silent for a while, and finally nodded weakly, and then said: "Xiaoli, you have to believe grandpa, even if you sacrifice grandpa's old life, grandpa must save you." ”
My brain went blank, and after receiving an affirmative answer from my grandfather, I lost the ability to think, and it didn't ease up for a long time, so that I didn't listen to a word of what my grandfather said to me later.
