Chapter 3 Guests from Lanzhou
The days go by like this, it seems that everything is back to before, in a blink of an eye, the winter has passed, the business in the shop is also tepid, it's okay on weekdays, either basking in the sun at the door of the store, or messing with Brother Hao, Fengyang County is not big, it's nothing more than walking the streets and alleys, playing billiards, eating snacks, and the video hall on Louxi Street squatted for half a day to pass the time. One day in April of this year, during the day, I played with Brother Hao and made a big fuss in the billiard hall, and it was getting dark, so the three of them went to the alley of the experimental primary school to sit down and eat something, this is not a long alley, a total of 100 meters long, but this delicious thing is really a lot, rice wine, teppanyaki, all kinds of skewers, spicy hot, the taste is spicy, suitable for the appetite of the locals.
The three of us sat down, one of them came to a spicy hot, Brother Hao went to order teppanyaki again, the whole skewers, the food was in full swing, I was looking down and picking up a chopstick spicy hot to send to the mouth, as soon as I looked up, I saw a big fuss towards our two Nunu mouths, and looked in the direction he pointed, a strange figure came into view, I was thinking about what this person was doing, Brother Hao whispered, "The old man looks a bit like a snake catcher" The old man is full of white hair, carrying a cloth bag, and the stick is leaning on the side, and is buying baked cakes at a baked cake stall," Is there a snake in that bag", I looked at it for a while, thought about it, more is better than less, and said to them, "Eat our food, don't worry about other people's affairs, this old man looks very evil." ”
The two of them thought about it, they both turned their heads and continued to eat, Brother Hao said, "I just borrowed a videotape, it's very exciting, do you want to go to my house together at night to enjoy it", I made a big fuss, this dare is good, you kid still has a conscience, hurry up and eat, hurry up after eating, go quickly after eating, solve the problem of dividing five by two, turn around and buy some beer, melon seeds, cigarettes, and the three of them went to the south of the city. The early spring season, has gone to the cold, the three of them walk on the road talking and laughing, very comfortable, this road, we don't know how many times we have walked, really can walk with our eyes closed, every brick and tile on this road, a tree in the morning is very familiar, very common, but tonight, we feel a little different, always feel a little uncomfortable, and can't say what's wrong.
Suddenly, there was a big fuss and a shout of "fuck! The two of us were startled, "Snake! "When we looked on the ground, a small snake was trampled on the head with a big fuss, its head was flattened, and its tail was still shaking." It's been a long time since I've seen a snake, and it's quite rare to see a snake in this county", as I was talking, I saw Brother Hao's eyes looking behind us deadly, without saying a word, and we knew that there was a situation when we looked at him like this, "What's wrong?" I carried the bottle in my hand, ready to beckon to the back, "Didn't you say I hadn't seen a snake for a long time, look", we turned around and looked, I! In the direction of Brother Hao's house, the road, trees, and grass all knew that there were snakes.
"What's going on" "I don't know, hurry home!" As soon as we entered the door, we saw Uncle Wang standing at the door, "Close the door" "Uncle Wang, it's full of snakes outside!" Uncle Wang looked outside, closed the door tightly, and walked into the house. As soon as we entered the door, we saw that there were guests in the house, and the man looked up at us, but it was the white-haired old man, and there was a girl sitting next to the white-haired old man.
The girl smiled when she saw us, looking a little tired, and I smiled politely, the girl was about the same age as us, with short hair, and she looked very good when she smiled, and I was a little afraid to look at her.
At this time, I found out that the second grandfather and my father were also there, they were obviously discussing something, the elders were discussing our little ones and did not mix, consciously went upstairs, went upstairs and sat down in Brother Hao's room, and couldn't help but speak, "Isn't this the old man who caught the snake, how did he get here" "This world is still so small, and it turned around and turned to my house," Brother Hao also said, I lit a cigarette and said, "Do you see that girl, I think something is wrong." The other two looked at me maliciously and laughed, and I was furious when I laughed, "Laugh! "Yo, there's a situation, I think there's something wrong with you!" , made a fuss and joked. "Yes, I see if my face was still red just now" Brother Hao also answered, "The wind blew" My heart was inexplicably a little messy, I took another puff of cigarette and sprayed it on the faces of the two people, "Don't talk nonsense, this girl is here, there must be something that needs your father's help", the two also smoked and nodded, Brother Hao said: "Let's watch the video", he took out the videotape from the bedside table, just put it in, the opening The two big characters of Jiahe have not finished playing, I heard Uncle Wang's voice downstairs shouting, Wang Hao, you come down for a while.
Brother Hao listened to it and quickly got up and walked downstairs, there was no movement for a long time, I was a little uneasy, I always felt that something was going to happen, and I was absent-minded to see it, I was trying to talk to the big fuss, bang, the door was pushed open, Brother Hao stood at the door and looked at the two of us, which meant let's go with him. I looked at Brother Hao and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation," Brother Hao didn't speak, and we went downstairs together. Downstairs, the second grandfather sat majestically in the middle, although he was over sixty years old, but his body was still very tough, his two thick eyebrows were a little white but not angry, and when he saw us coming down, he said: "This time there is something that requires the three of you young people to run, make a fuss, I have already called your mother, Jianjun, Haozi, both of your fathers are here, it has been decided, and you will go with me tomorrow." "What are you going to do?" I asked softly, "Don't ask so much, just let your second grandfather arrange everything" Dad spoke, "It's okay for young people to go out to exercise, or they won't be able to do anything at home every day." ”
This is Uncle Ma from Lanzhou, I will go with you this time, and Uncle Ma will also bring some people with him. In the evening, you all go back to prepare, and set off early tomorrow morning, I said in my heart, what is so urgent, and I dare not ask, just thinking, the second grandfather got up and stood up, and said to the old man Ma, Brother Ma, I will temporarily rest here tonight, and I will arrange someone to deal with the things outside. Uncle Ma hurriedly got up and made a move, don't bother Brother Zhang, my people will deal with it, everyone waited for a while, and heard very noisy footsteps outside the door, probably waited for a cup of tea, and then calmed down, the old man said everyone can go, Dandan, we will also go back.
It turned out that her name was Dandan, I glanced at the girl again, and saw that she was also looking at me, I hurriedly wiped my head, she also lowered her head, we pushed open the courtyard door, the moon was in the sky outside, and the snakes everywhere before were gone.
Go back at night and go to bed after packing up things, and leave early tomorrow, before going to bed, my father came over and told us to listen to the arrangement of the second grandfather, this Uncle Ma is the benefactor of our Zhang family. The more I had something in my heart, the worse I couldn't sleep, and I finally fell asleep, and suddenly I woke up and looked at the clock, and it was 4 o'clock in the morning. I couldn't sleep anymore, so I simply got up and sat up, lit a cigarette and looked out the window, the drum tower was unusually magnificent in the faintly bright sky. After staying up like this for two hours, I heard the sound of a car downstairs, someone honked the horn twice, I heard a big fuss shouting "Jianjun", I knew I was going to go, quickly got dressed, picked up my backpack, and when I went downstairs, I saw my dad standing at the door, when he passed by him, he looked at me and said "be careful", his eyes were full of encouragement, I cheered up and smiled at my dad, and I saw a Jinbei van parked at the door.
Standing at the door smoking a cigarette, I saw that I came out of a cat waist and got into the car, I also followed, as soon as I got in the car, I saw Brother Hao smile at me again, the driver was an uncle in the clan, everyone called him the third uncle, I shouted the third uncle, the third uncle nodded to me wearing a sunglasses, I asked, the second grandfather is not in this car, the big fuss said, the second grandfather is in another car, close the door, the car drove out from Louxi Street, the people who do business on the street have begun to be busy, and there are many Hui people who kill cattle at home, and hang out the beef that has just been killed. It didn't take much effort, and I arrived at a place called three steps and two bridges, which is a four-way intersection, and the cars in and out of the county are parked here, and the car is parked on the side of the road, and the third uncle rolled down the window and shouted outside: "It's all on the car, the bar!" I looked outside through the glass, there were two cars, saw that we arrived, they all started to set off, we were just about to leave, suddenly dangdang, someone knocked on the window, we stopped, someone pulled the car door up, I looked a little angry, I heard the third uncle shouted: "Erzhu, sit back!" ”
