Chapter 169: Not necessarily pretty
But they all admired him very much. Although the adults did not allow them to come into contact with him, they played with him happily and wished they would dare to do the same. Like many other decent children, Tom admired Huckleberry's carefree life as a street child, but he was sternly told not to play with him. So, he mingled with him every chance he could.
Lin Muchen just followed Tom all the time, didn't talk to Tom and them, and didn't play there by himself, just thinking vigorously, this was definitely not an accident, but a conspiracy by Tian Tian and them, and he must overcome this big difficulty in the past.
Tom beckoned to the romantic wanderer:
"Hello, Huckleberry!"
"You're good, you like it."
"What treasure did you get?"
"A dead cat."
"Huck, let me see. Yo! This guy is a tough guy, where did you get that?" Bought from a child. ”
"What did you get in exchange?"
"I gave him a blue ticket and a urine bubble from the slaughterhouse." "Where did you get your blue ticket?"
"Two weeks ago with a stick that pushes a hoop and Bane, Roger swapped."
"I say, Hitch, what's the use of a dead cat?"
"Alas, you take the dead cat and wait for the bad guy to be buried in the middle of the night, and then go to the graveyard; The devils move in the middle of the night, maybe in groups or twos, but you can't see them, but you can hear them walking, and maybe you can hear their conversations.
When they take the scoundrel to the netherworld, you throw the dead cat behind them and say, 'The ghost runs with the corpse, the cat runs with the ghost, the wart follows the cat, and I am broken with the wart-knife!'" 'Whatever warts are cured in this way.' ”
That sounds like a lot of sense. Huck, have you tried?"
"Nope. But Old Lady Hopkins told me. ”
"yes, she probably did. Because people say she's a witch. ”
"Isn't it, Tom, I know that. She bewitched my father. That's what my dad said.
One day, when he came and saw that she was trying to confuse him, he picked up a large rock, and if she hadn't dodged it in time, he would have struck her. But that same night, he got drunk and lay on a small wooden roof, and somehow fell down and broke an arm. ”
You start out with sea wine "Oops, that's unfortunate." How did he know she was going to confuse him?"
Out: "Oh, my God! My dad saw it. My dad said that when she stared at you directly, she was trying to confuse you, especially when she was still chanting the mantra in her mouth.
Not to mention. At this time, they read the prayer of the Bible upside down. "Hey, I said Huck, when are you going to try to cure warts with this cat?"
"Tonight. I guess they're going to get Howss, old fellow Williams. ”
"But wasn't he buried on Saturday? Didn't they come to get him away on Saturday night?"
"Hey, look at what you said! How can their spell work after midnight? It's past midnight, and it's Sunday. I guess it's really Sunday ghosts who don't wander around much. ”
"I never thought of that. That's what happened. Let me go with you, okay?"
"Okay, of course - as long as you're not scared." Tong Luo Rong
Tezie: "Scared! That's not all. Can you learn how to meow?"
"Okay." If I call, you respond. Last time, you asked me to learn how to chirp cats there, and then the old man Hess threw stones at me.
And said, 'Fuck the pestilence!' So I smashed the windows of his house with bricks. Don't talk about it, though. ”
"I won't say that. My aunt had been watching me that night, how could I learn to meow. But this time I'll be whining. Hey, what's that?" quiet
"It's just a tick."
"Where did you get it?" Zhang Sheng, Liu Fa, Cai Da, Father Anlai, Trombone, Rice Ruos, "In the woods outside." "Shen Xiang Fa Guan Yun Huo Zi came to stand a Ding hot five-outfit Xisha" What do you want to exchange it with you, are you talented?" On the new road plan of the world ticket year"I don't know. I don't want to sell it. ”
"Forget it, look at you tick, so small."
"Oh, if you can't eat grapes, you say grapes are sour. I'm pretty happy with it. For me, this tick is good enough. ”
"Oh my God, Lin Muchen, come and take a look, he said that this lice of mine is very small, and he is going to find one that is a little bigger than mine." Tom's face was arrogant.
"Hahahaha, that might not be realistic, how do I feel that this lice of ours is the biggest?" Lin Muchen followed Ke over.
If I wanted, I could get a thousand. "Hmph, there are so many ticks." Hey, come on, then you can get it for me. You can't catch it. I think it's an older tick, the first one I've seen this year."
"So, Huck, I'll trade my teeth for ticks with you."
"Let me see.
Tom took out a small paper bag and carefully opened it. Huckleberry looked forward to it. The temptation is too great.
Finally, he said:
"Is this a real tooth?"
Tom rolled his lips and showed him the notch.
"Hmph, okay then." Huckleberry said, "Just change it." ’
After Tom had put the tick in the tube that had imprisoned the pincer beetle the other day, they parted, and each felt much richer than before.
When Tom arrived at the lonely little wood-framed schoolhouse, he strode into the classroom with a relaxed and cheerful step, as if he had come to school honestly.
He hung his hat on a nail and sat down in his seat in a serious manner. His teacher was sitting high in his large rattan armchair, listening to the hypnotic sound of reading, and was napping. Tom came in and woke him up.
Lin Muchen followed Tom into the classroom, and Lin Muchen was very careful along the way, for fear of disturbing the classmates around him.
"Thomas. Sawyer!"
Tom knew that if the teacher called him by his full name, trouble would come.
"Here, Teacher!"
"Come here, I ask you. Good fellow, why are you late, all the time?"
Tom was about to lie to get away with it, when he saw two long golden poles hanging from a man's back, and he was shocked. A warm current of love made him recognize the girl at once. The girl sits on the other side,
It just so happened that there was an empty seat next to her. He immediately said, "I'm on my way with Huckleberry. Finn's speech is delayed!"
The teacher was so angry that his pulse was about to stop beating, and he stared at Tom helplessly.
The sound of reading also stopped. The students wondered if there was something wrong with this reckless guy. The teacher said:
"You, what did you do?"
"On the road and Huckleberry. Finn's speech was delayed. ”
He made it clear.
"Thomas Sawyer, this is the most astonishing confession I've ever heard.
You've made such a big mistake that using a ring ruler alone won't solve the problem. Take your shirt off!"
The teacher hit his arm tired,
Stop when there is obvious wear and tear on the whip. Then he commanded: "Go! Go sit with the girls, it's a warning to you. ”
The classroom was filled with whispers, which seemed to make Tom blush.
But in reality, he blushed because he admired the girl he didn't know, and was lucky enough to be at the same table with her. He sat down at one end of the pine bench, and the girl tilted her head and moved her body to the other end. Everyone pushed each other's arms, blinked, and whispered to each other. But Tom sat upright,
The two arms rested on the long, low desk, as if reading a book.
Gradually, everyone's attention was no longer focused on Tom, and the muffled sound of reading in school resounded in the dull air. Tom stole a few glances at the girl. She noticed,
For a minute after "grimacing at him", she was pointing the back of her head at him. As she slowly turned her face, a peach was placed in front of her.
She pushed the peach away, and Tom gently put it back again. She pushed Peaches away again, but this time she softened. Tom patiently put it back in its place. This time she didn't refuse. Tom wrote a few words on his clipboard: "Please take it, I've got a lot of miles."
The girl glanced at the words, but still didn't move. So Tom blocked the clipboard with his left hand and began to draw on it.
For a long time the girl was adamant not to see him paint, but curiosity drove her to waver.
Tom continued to draw, as if he didn't know what was going on. The girl wanted to see it, but her attitude was uncertain, but the boy remained silent and pretended not to see. At last she gave in, and hesitated and whispered:
"Let me see."
Tom opened his left hand slightly, and the slate was a painting of a house, which was not well painted and ambiguous, with two gables and wisps of smoke rising from the peasants.
But the girl's interest was attracted, and she threw everything out of the clouds. When the two were finished, she stared at the person for a moment, and then whispered:
"It's so good to draw people over and over again."
So, the "painter" drew a man in the front yard, and he rose from the ground, and it was shaped a bit like: a herringbone crane.
He could step over the house in one big step. But the girl didn't care about that. She was happy with the big monster. She whispered:
"This person is so good-looking, if you draw it again, you will draw me, and I will draw it like I am walking over."
Tom drew a water drain or an hourglass (both of which can be used as a timer), and added a full moon, and his limbs were like grass.
Erected, with outstretched fingers holding a frighteningly large fan. The girl said:
"It's so well drawn. If only I could draw. ”
This girl praised Tom directly, and Lin Muchen was also beside her, and she heard that it was a red-faced and red-eared person, but they should talk about it and laugh, and they didn't care about Lin Muchen at all.
just put Lin Muchen aside and let Lin Muchen sit there alone.
"It's easy," Tom whispered, "learn from me." ”
"Ah; Would you like to? When will you teach me?"
"Noon. Are you going home for lunch?"
Tom didn't care what happened to Lin Muchen, and said something to himself.
"If you teach me, I'll stay here."
"Well, that's great. What's your name?"
"Becky. Thatcher, what's your name? Oh, I know, your name is Thomas, Sawyer. "When they beat me,
Just call me by that name. My name was Tom when I was doing well. You call me Tom, okay?"
Tom looked at the girl in front of him with a sincere face!
"Okay."
At this time, Tom was writing something on the clipboard, and he blocked it with his hand to prevent the girl from seeing it. This time she wasn't like before. She begged Tom to show her. Tom Says:
"Ah, nothing to see."
"No, there must be something pretty."
