Chapter 70: Life Hangs by a Thread
At this moment of lightning, I only felt a sudden itch on my scalp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that moment, it was as if time had stood still, everything in the world seemed to me in slow motion, and the rapidly falling tripod seemed to have stopped.
And I, still standing on the spot, seemed to be unable to move at all...
A white gauze brushed over the top of his head, revealing a white and delicate hand outside the white veil.
It was such a slender and gentle hand that in the next moment, it firmly grasped the falling tripod and gently pushed it to the side as if it had no force......
"Boom ......"
After a loud bang, the heavy wooden tripod fell to the ground at such an angle as it brushed the tip of my nose.
The next second, time seemed to return to normal again.
My father limped to me and hugged me, and seemed to be saying something, but I didn't listen to a word.
Because my eyes had been glued to the front of me, looking at the very familiar yet strange figure.
I haven't seen you for a long time, Lu Xiaorou ......
There seemed to be a breeze blowing, and Lu Xiaorou's waterfall-like hair also fluttered gently with the wind, she turned her head and smiled at me, her figure became lighter and lighter, and finally slowly disappeared out of thin air.
This time, although Lu Xiaorou and I were only a stone's throw away, I still couldn't see her facial features clearly, and I could only see a general outline every time.
Seeing me standing there stupidly, everyone thought I was frightened, and only I knew what had just happened.
Lu Xiaorou saved me again, I don't know how many times this is, every time she arrives in an instant, but disappears immediately.
At night, I lay alone on the kang tossing and turning, constantly thinking about this scene that happened during the day.
Who is Lu Xiaorou and why has she been helping me?
I thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, so I fell asleep in a daze.
No matter what happened yesterday, the next day is a new beginning!
After the roof was installed, my dad and I cleaned up our house again, built a kang for the new house, and laid the concrete floor.
It took about four or five days before and after, and after our father and I finished these two tasks, this home was basically completed, as long as the ordered aluminum alloy doors and windows were installed after they were completed, my father and I could live in.
There is a custom here in our rural areas of Shandong that after building a new home, the owner of the house will invite relatives and friends to have a meal together, and everyone will bring red envelopes, called "burning kang money".
Dad booked four tables in the hotel and invited my relatives, Uncle Pan and Uncle Wang, but Brother Yu still didn't come, maybe he was still blaming me.
I found out that this is the happiest banquet my dad has eaten in the past few years, yes, my dad has worked hard in the past few years, and he is trying his best to make money just to give me a stable home.
Now that he is only forty-five, and his sideburns have already grown gray hair, I suddenly feel a little distressed, and I feel that I am very unlucky, and I will cause trouble for him.
Looking at my father's figure, I secretly swore in my heart: "Dad, I must be filial to you when I grow up!" ”
"Son!" At this time, my father's leg and foot were slightly lame and walked towards my table, and the injured leg he had jumped from the roof a few days ago has not fully recovered yet.
My dad walked up to me and said, "Come, dad respects you, dad is sorry for you, you have been wronged in the past few years." ”
With that, Dad raised his glass and dried the liquor in his hand.
I felt even more uncomfortable when he said that, but I didn't show it at the time.
My dad had drunk a lot that night, and I wanted to go up and persuade him to drink less.
But when I think about it, my father has been suffering for so many years, and he can finally relax once.
And not only did my family build a new house to celebrate, Uncle Pan's Yi Xiutang was going to open a branch in Tianjin, and Uncle Wang was also going to Beijing Central Party School to study immediately, so this meal was also regarded as my father's meal for his two best brothers, and in this case, it was too disappointing for me to prevent them from drinking, so I didn't dissuade them.
After eating, my father, who usually never participates in entertainment activities, took the initiative to invite Uncle Pan and Uncle Wang to sing at KTV.
In the KTV, this brother seems to have forgotten his identity, as if he has returned to his childhood, lighting the old songs of the year, and singing with ghosts crying wolves.
At the climax, Uncle Pan ordered a song "Ode to the Yellow River", and the brothers and sisters hugged each other's necks side by side and sang:
Uncle Wang: "The wind is roaring, the horses are roaring... ”
Dad: "Gentlemen are roaring... ”
Uncle Pan: "The girls are screaming... ”
Me: "......"
In the end, this guy went completely crazy, drinking and singing, completely ignoring me sitting on the side...
My father, who had been depressed for many years, also completely released himself on this night and drank as hard as he could.
So much so that in the end, my father was completely drunk and was helped home by Uncle Pan and Uncle Wang.
After returning home, Uncle Pan helped me carry my father to the kang before leaving for home.
As soon as I saw Uncle Pan away, I heard a "plop" sound from my father's house.
hurriedly ran in to take a look, and found that my father actually rolled over and rolled off the kang.
I don't know if you've heard of the term "dead sinking", which means that people are extremely heavy when they are dead or unconscious.
Today, I realized that I was carrying my shoulders again, and I was dragging my father's legs on the kang, and it took a lot of effort to get my father back on the kang.
But the father who returned to the kang was not honest, muttered a sentence of "drink ......", and then tilted his head "wow" and vomited......
Suddenly, the whole room was filled with the sour smell of fermented alcohol and food.
At that time, I was so disgusted that I almost vomited, but I couldn't leave my dad alone, and in the end, I had to endure the vomit rolling in my stomach and pick up my dad's vomit.
When everything was cleaned up, I fled my father's house in disarray.
Taking a big breath of fresh air, I felt like the world was changing again.
After a while, I went into the house and saw that my father had already fallen asleep, so I went back to my room to sleep.
Lying on the kang and thinking that I would soon be able to sleep in my own room, I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and just like that, I fell asleep in hope and fantasy......
At night, I don't know what time it was, I was sleeping in a daze and I heard a sound of sooting outside the door.
After a while, the sound gradually became louder and louder.
"Bang Bang . ." I don't know who is knocking on my door.
I was disturbed by this chaotic noise, and I turned on the light and glanced at the watch on the wall, it was 2:26 in the morning, and who did not sleep in the middle of the night and knocked directly on my door.
But no, the courtyard gate, the outer door, and my father's house didn't move, only my own door was ringing.
Thinking of this, I was so excited that I didn't feel sleepy, could it be that the house was haunted again?
