Chapter 40 The Mask Under the Mask

"I knew that Siguan would have come." Ah Heng said to Yan Xi with a smile.

Reckless, the two of them cried in the police station in the dark, flying sand and rocks, and when they came home and thought about it, it was really embarrassing.

Yan Xi rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you call that little policeman Wen Siwan?" Then the little green-haired monster won't be dead without a corpse! ”

Ah Heng was embarrassed: "I accidentally forgot." ”

At that time, Daben was aggressive, the little policeman was dazzling in green, and when she asked for her phone number, she never thought that her mouth was Yan Xi's mobile phone number.

So, Ah Heng thought about it, seriously found a reason, and sighed: "Alas, Yanxi, I just felt that I needed to be claimed at that time......"

Even if he calls Siguan, he will still transfer himself to Yan Xi. It's too much trouble, so why bother going around in a big circle.

Yan Xi squinted: "This reason, good, very good!" Immediately, he went upstairs and slammed the door.

Syllable!

Ah Heng is helpless, this guy's temper is getting worse and worse.

In less than two seconds, Comrade Towel Little Gray was thrown out, and Ah Heng was startled, pounced, and caught it.

The towel puppy has snot and tears flying. Didn't you just sleep in the beauty room and sleep in the evening, what's the matter......

Yan Meiren's voice came from afar: "Take care of your dog!" ”

Ah Heng smiled and patted the puppy's fluffy little head gently: "What should I do with you?" ”

Stupid, he obviously doesn't like you......

Sier was as Siwan wished and was admitted to Xilin.

Siguan was promoted to the third grade, and the work of the student council naturally stopped, and he worked hard for the single-plank bridge in July.

Mary disagreed: "Siguan, don't worry, right?" "The top five in the grade, plus the extra points of the national outstanding three good students, what school to go to is not up to him?

Xin Dayi raised his head: "What do you know, my brother is going to give the Wen family a top prize in the college entrance examination!" ”

Mary pondered something, and teased without being salty: "I don't necessarily understand anything, but you don't necessarily know much better than me what your brother Wen Siwan is thinking." ”

Xin Dayi swept the delicate and thin back in front of him: "What can he think, it's not that he is worried about how to go to the same school with Yan Meiren." ”

Mary's eyes became a little strange when she looked at Sindayi: "You...... Know what? ”

Sindayi is a matter of course: "The two of them have been in the same school, going to college, how can they be exceptional?" ”

Mary's black line: "What kind of logic is this! ”

"We plus Lu Liu, oh, you don't know Lu Liu, anyway, it's a fairy, yes, although the four of us grew up together, but a discerning person knows at a glance that Siguan is closer to Yan Xi. When I was in junior high school, Yan Xi and I were admitted to the seventh middle school, and he and Lu Liu were admitted to the first middle school, but the little girl didn't say a word, and transferred to the seventh middle school with her schoolbag on her back, which is called a bull. Later, it seems that he was beaten up by Uncle Wen, hehe...... "The young man instigated."

Mary laughed wickedly: "Baboon, don't you be jealous, right?" This is sour, childhood is sad, unpopular ......"

Sindayi: "Dead lady, can I be vinegared?" If you want vinegar, it is also Wen Siwan vinegar! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mary's eyes were shining, and she subconsciously tapped her phoenix eyes with her fingertips.

"Before Lu Liu went to Vienna, he and Yanxi were almost connected. Although they are all small brothers, don't say that I am nothing, the words are ugly, Siwan was in front of those two people at that time, and he was a little transparent! Sindayi muttered.

Mary looked at Sindayi sympathetically.

Xin Dayi trembled: "Damn, shemale, you don't care if you succeed or not, don't look at Lao Tzu with a motherly face!" ”

Mary smiled innocently: "No way, once the story is told, you are the most pitiful!" ”

"Pour! Where is Lao Tzu pitiful? Where is the pity? Tell me about it! ”

"Xindayi, what are you doing with your teeth and claws, stand up and say, what to choose for the third question!" The English teacher, known as Mediterranean, was furious.

Ahem, kids, it's still school time.

Sindayi was dumbfounded. What is the subject of the definite clause, the object of the predicate, there is that there is no which which has no comma, and the stupid child is sweating.

The shredded meat sat in a variety of styles, and the corners of his mouth were crooked and gloating.

Ah Heng coughed lightly, bent his hand into the shape of C, and put it on his ear.

β€œC!” Xindayi straightened his chest and had confidence.

β€œWhy is the third choiceοΌŸβ€ Mediterranean has been teaching for half his life, and he is also a tricky corner.

Sindayi slurred: "Because...... Um Because, it says, what flying, what when, what my, ......"

Mediterranean gritted his teeth: "Repeat! Why? ”

Sindayi burst into tears. Ah Heng didn't say......

The autumn colors are getting darker and darker, and in just a few days, the leaves have completely withered.

Ah Heng has been learning to knit things with TV in his spare time.

She turned to the boy and asked, "Siwan and Mary want scarves, and Dayi wants a pair of gloves." What about you, what do you want? ”

Yan Xi snapped his fingers, one, two, three...... Fourth, a little frustrated: "Lao Tzu doesn't want anything." ”

"That's right." Ah Heng lowered his head and smiled, his voice soft.

In the evening, the sky was a little overcast, and before night, the wind had already swayed the shadows of the trees into fragments. When it is scarce, torrential rain pours. An autumn rain and a cold.

Ah Heng and Yan Xi closed the windows upstairs and downstairs, Ah Heng just walked to the bathroom, and suddenly it was dark and the power went out. She looked out the window, and there was no light around her, except for the gloomy shadows of the trees, presumably the cable had been blown off by the wind. At this point, the weather is so bad, even if it is repaired, it is also very troublesome.

"Ah Heng." Yan Xi groped his way downstairs.

Ah Heng rubbed his eyes, gradually getting used to the darkness, and at the top of the staircase, there was a thin figure.

"Ah Heng, come here." His voice was sluggish.

Ah Heng walked over and touched it lightly, and it was the slightly rough linen texture of the coat.

He held her hand in the palm of his hand with his backhand, the nerves that had been tense relaxed, and the gap between his fingers was like filling in the wind, soft and settled. The boy laughed and grimaced in the dark.

Ah Heng was helpless and whispered, "Yan Xi, I'm not afraid." ”

So, don't bother scaring me.

"I'm scared, okay?" Yan Xi rolled her eyes and poked her head out the window, "Daughter, such a beautiful day, let's go out to forage for food." ”

Ah Heng glanced at the kitchen: "My millet porridge has just been cooked......"

Yan Xi drooled and pretended not to hear: "Daughter, I know that there is a new hot pot restaurant in Xixiao Street, which is said to be delicious." ”

Ah Heng continued: "Ahem, the green vegetables I just fried ......"

Yan Xi trembled his ears: "And in front of the East Temple Gate, Old Man Lu's beef noodle restaurant has opened a branch. ”

Ah Heng feigned anger: "Ah, I know, I am always so willful." ”

Yan Xi spread his hands and smiled slyly.

The two children rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a raincoat, put it on sloppily and rushed out.

"Where are you going?" In the distance, there are some glare headlights.

The car slowed down and stopped next to the nearest tree. Looking closely, the outline in the darkness turned out to be Siguan.

"There's a power outage, get some food." Yan Xi glanced at the car, "Yo, Wen Shao, took your grandfather's bus for private use again?" ”

Ah Heng looked at the car, and it was really the one that Secretary Li usually used, and smiled.

Siguan raised his head, his hands lightly on the steering wheel, and his voice was mellow and couldn't hear the emotion: "Where are you?" I'll drive you there. ”

Yan Xi shook his head and scolded with a smile: "You are driving without a license, Lao Tzu still wants to live a few more years." ”

Siwan didn't force it, smiled lightly, glanced at the two gently, and stepped on the accelerator.

Ah Heng lifted the hat of his raincoat and watched the car leave, only to find that there was still a person sitting in the passenger seat, looking like a girl, but not like Sier. The slight curls are like ...... The Lin Wanwan that I had seen a long time ago.

Her heart moved, she remembered something, and glanced at Yan Xi, but his expression did not change.

They thought about finding a taxi, but the rain was heavy and there were very few vehicles on the road. After looking all the way, I saw that I was about to reach the East Temple Gate, so I gave up and only took a walk before dinner.

"Ah Heng, there is a small shop in front of the East Temple, the masks made are very exquisite, after eating for a while, let's buy a few and take them home to play." Yan Xi was full of interest and pointed not far away.

The East Temple was only a small Buddha hall at first, which was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is rumored that it was built by Emperor Yongzheng, who was still the fourth prince at that time, and was used as an incense offering to the Buddha in the family. When it was first built, the four princes inscribed it as "Four Liangzhai". Everyone asked which four cool, and Huang Ziyun: "Foolishness, stupidity, laziness, and scattered, these four should be cool if they corrupt their minds." ”

Yan Xi is making a fuss about coming, for the Lu family's beef noodle shop that has passed down the secret recipe for a hundred years. Although it was a rainy day, the business of the old Lu family shop was still full, and many of them had foreign accents, probably to travel to Beijing, and happened to hear the reputation of the noodle shop and came to try it.

This is the case at the table next to Ah Heng, a group of young people, lively and lively, speaking Mandarin lightly and quickly, most of them are from the Jiangnan area.

The beef noodles are very delicious, Ah Heng bit the crystal noodles, tasted the soup carefully, and frowned slightly: "Yan Xi, this noodles, there is too much Chinese medicine." ”

"So, it's called nourishing beef noodles, you look at the sign." Yan Xi snorted and didn't think so.

Ah Heng shook his head: "The taste and nourishment of traditional Chinese medicine is excellent, but the amount should not be too much and avoid miscellaneous. If it is to make noodles, hook the soup, a small amount of ginseng leaves, almonds, cloves, tangerine peel stir-fried until fragrant, with mushrooms and yam seasoning, the medicinal properties are mild, although there is not necessarily any clever medicinal effect, but at least it does not hurt the spleen and stomach. In order to hang freshness, this beef soup is added with red cardamom and spring sand kernels, red cardamom disperses cold, and spring sand kernels warm the stomach, both of which are hot, and should be cautious when put together to taste, but this soup is excessive......"

Yan Xi Xiaobai, staring at the water Lingling's eyes: "Red cardamom, spring sand kernel, hair?" ”

The group at the adjacent table stopped the noise and became quiet at some point. After a while, a person laughed and smashed the young man in a white sweater next to him: "Feibai, this can compare you to you." See, there are people outside the people, next time don't be so arrogant in front of the junior sisters, you want to frighten them, and look back and scold Dean Gu for not growing up. ”

A group of girls squeezed their eyebrows.

The boy who was called Feibai was also strange, wearing a knitted white sweater, which was clean and clean, as if he had a habit of cleanliness. His voice was extremely cold and low, and although the sentences were light and fluttering in the southern tone, the words were arrogant, like the ice on the extremely snowy mountain, and he was sharp: "Ordinary people know a little bit of medical science, do you still want to compare it with me?" ”

Yan Xi whispered: "Ah Heng, what did they say?" Yan Xi has learned Jiangnan dialect for a while, but he can't cope with it if he speaks too fast.

Ah Heng snorted: "It's nothing." Subconsciously took another sip of soup, and the tip of his tongue vaguely tasted a hint of sweetness and sourness, and smiled, "Yanxi, this soup is okay again." ”

Yan Xi burst into tears: "Hengheng, what are you talking about?" I can't understand a word for Mao Laozi! ”

Ah Heng explained with a smile: "There is also hawthorn cooked in the soup at the same time, which is cool, and it happens to be hot poison with cardamom and spring sand kernels, which is harmless to people." ”

The young man in the white sweater had a softened face, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he raised his eyelids slightly to glance at Ah Heng.

Yan Xiyi: "Originally, the big sign of the noodle shop said 'Hawthorn Big Bowl of Beef Noodles'!" ”

Well? Ah Heng turned his head, and if it was so, the eight big characters of bronzing. Hehe, blushing, and changing the topic with a smile: "Yanxi, alas, you have eaten a mouth full of oily ...... again"

Yan Xi smiled, with connivance, stretched out his crystal index finger and gently rubbed the corner of Ah Heng's mouth, and said with a slightly cool finger temperature: "Stupid boy, how good are you?" ”

Ah Heng was stunned, after eating a meal, she became the one who was unconscious.

There is a custom in front of the East Temple, at nine o'clock in the evening, the streets are lined with red lanterns, I heard that it has been followed before the Republic of China, and it is a feature. If it weren't for a rainy night, it would have the feeling of a Jiangnan Lantern Festival.

Yan Xi pulled Ah Heng, familiar with the road, and walked to the opposite street. The small shops selling handicrafts have also been around for some years, and they are ingenious, not using artificially carved floors, but paving the ground full of green bricks.

walked in, and sure enough, as Yan Xi said, the four walls were hung with extremely exquisite masquerade. A pair, under the lantern wrapped in red silk, shines with a beautiful spirit.

Ah Heng had just taken down an ugly but extremely delicately crafted scar-faced pirate, and Yan Xi was already running towards the many masks painted with beauties with great interest.

Coincidentally, there were many layers of white mink between the two walls, and most of the Manchu ornaments hung on them, such as small daggers, earrings, and bracelets, which were full of them, separating the figures.

Ah Heng put on a pirate face mask, another layer of skin, soft and real. Thinking of something, he smiled and looked in Yanxi's direction.

The vague figure seemed to be far away because of the distance.

A light brown coat, light straight gray pants, a rare low-key color, but unfortunately on the feet, it turned into red canvas shoes. Around the shoe, there is a pool of water stains that slowly soak into the mud. It makes people have illusions and contradictory combinations, but they are strangely beautiful.

She stared at the back, that focused, gentle gaze, quiet and dead to harmlessness. The left hand was gently placed on the chest, only to find that its beating was close to mad despair.

Ah Heng sighed slightly.

If he hadn't been wearing a mask, such a gaze would have caused him a lot of trouble. Only she knows how ...... her eyes are at the moment Dirty.

"Du Qingqing, have you had enough? Stop it! In a cold voice with a slight exasperation, someone took off her mask.

The person opposite, wearing a white sweater, was stunned when he saw Ah Heng.

"I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person." Ah Heng smiled slightly, took the mask in his hand, and gently put it back on.

She smiled and turned away, but unbeknownst to her, a fate had quietly begun again.

She never cared about this accident, but walked up to Yan Xi and wondered funny if Yan Xi would guess wrong like everyone else.

He smiled and stroked the scar on the pirate mask: "Ah Heng, this is very realistic." ”

Through the mask, such a finger warmth, but it is suffocatingly warm.

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One.

The last ten seconds.

She looked at him, smiled, and slowly smeared the landscape.

At the last glance, something in his eyes was knocked down, and the mist in the sky was cleared and calm.

He gently removed her mask, still with dark eyes, like this...... It's so beautiful.

Then, she was still the Ah Heng he was familiar with.

Ah Heng who will not get out of control.

The almighty Ah Heng.

Gentle Ah Heng.

Forever...... It will only be the kind of Ah Heng he thinks in his heart.
