Chapter 19: The Origin of Hemp

"But I don't rest, and I don't seem to have anything else to do."

Ren Ruoyi's room doesn't even have a TV, not even watching TV to pass the time, there is a TV in the mahjong room, but when I went back to the room before, I could hear the sound of someone talking inside, it should be the two so-called brothers playing in it, after a day of getting along, I don't like to deal with them, so I don't mean to go to the mahjong room.

"How about we play poker?"

Ren Ruoyi took out a beautiful deck of playing cards from the corner of the drawer, why did he use the word exquisite? After all, it's a girl.,Even the playing cards are different from the ordinary.,It's a cute card with a cartoon girl as a pattern.。

looked at Xuanning's cousin, and seeing that she had no objections, it was not easy for me to refuse Ren Ruoyi's proposal, I had nothing to do, and it was good to play cards with them to pass the time.

Because there was no chair for three people in the room, we simply sat on Ren Ruoyi's bed to play.

There is a different way to play in Xiangnan than in Province G, Ren Ruoyi and Ren Xuanning can't play landlords, so they taught me to play here, but fortunately, it is not difficult to learn.

This kind of play is called running fast, take away the double king and three two plus an A, the remaining forty-eight chapters of cards are just sixteen per person, the rule is very simple is that no matter what the opponent plays, you just need to pick up you must, until one side finishes that side is upstream, the next game can be the first out.

This kind of gameplay is simple and easy to use, I learned it after a few hits, and when I was playing, suddenly there was a sound of quarrel downstairs, and the table "snapped".

Listening to the voice, you can tell that Ren Ruoyi's father and one of the uncles are arguing.

"Why do you take so much, all your children are biological, are you still preferring sons over daughters?"

"Heh, giving you so much is already the face of your eldest brother in the eyes of your relatives, what have you done to your father after marrying for so long, why do you still have face?"

Even after closing the door of the room, I could still vaguely hear the content of their quarrel, stopped what I was doing, and glanced at the two girls next to me, Cousin Xuanning and Ren Ruoyi were sorting out their cards as if they hadn't heard it.

I hesitated and said, "We.... Why don't you go down and take a look? ”

After all, the quarrel is so intense, what if something happens.

Cousin Xuanning said indifferently: "Leave them alone, it's not the first time, don't worry, father, they will be fine next to them." ”

Seeing that Ren Ruoyi was not worried at all, I was no longer entangled, but the quarrel downstairs was not without an impact on them, at least the expression on her face was not as happy as just now.

While they were a little distracted, I suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard those villagers call the second grandfather Ren hemp, why does the second grandfather have such a name, I look at the photo, he doesn't seem to have pockmarks on his face?" ”

"Huh this?" Xuanning's cousin replied: "This title should be more than ten years ago, grandpa just moved here not long after the village people gave the nickname, I remember very clearly that it was grandpa just over fifty years old shortly after his birthday, his face suddenly had a lot of dense small red spots, not only on the face but also on the body, I was still young at the time, curiously asked grandpa only to hear grandpa say that it was skin allergies or something, during that time grandpa wore long sleeves, the village people only saw his face, thinking that the long dense red dots were pockmarks, So I gave my grandfather a nickname called Hemp, and Grandpa's situation lasted for half a year, and then slowly the red rash on Grandpa's body disappeared, but the people in the village were used to the nickname of Grandpa's Hemp. ”

"Hey, I remember that a few years ago, my grandfather also had red pockmarks on his face, and then he got better." Ren Ruoyi said along with what Cousin Xuan Ning said.

Cousin Xuanning nodded: "It was six years ago, and it was strange to say that it happened to be the day of grandpa's sixtieth birthday, and my father was worried about what kind of malignant skin disease it was, and asked grandpa to go to the hospital to see grandpa but he didn't go, saying that it was just skin allergies and rubbing some medicine in a few days, grandpa was stubborn and didn't listen to anyone, and then after a while, the rash on grandpa's body disappeared by itself, and he didn't mention it." ”

I see, when I heard Cousin Xuanning's explanation, I realized that the origin of the so-called nickname of Hemp Zi was really because the second grandfather once had something similar to pockmarks on his face, but why did it sound so evil, it appeared again after ten years, and it happened to be after the birthday, if Cousin Xuanning was not wrong, then it was too much of a coincidence.

However, according to what they describe and are very consistent with the characteristics of skin allergies, it may also be a type of skin allergy, because there are many types of skin allergies, and there are many conditions, such as some people can't eat seafood, some people can't drink red wine, some people can't touch paint, etc.

I had a similar situation before, and then I got better after getting injections and taking medicine.

The chatterbox opened, Ren Ruoyi and Cousin Xuanning also told me a lot of interesting things between them, the quarrel downstairs slowly disappeared, at least I couldn't hear it in the room, I and Cousin Xuanning played until about half past ten, and the two began to gradually become sleepy and began to yawn.

I looked at the time and asked them to go back to their rooms to rest, after all, they have to get up early tomorrow morning, and it is always good to rest early to recuperate.

They also think what I said makes sense, Ren Ruoyi began to clean up the playing cards on the bed, I walked over and opened the door of the room, the corridor was quiet, there was a sound of talking downstairs, the whole outside of the house was pitch black, because the second grandfather and their house was on the periphery of the village, and all I saw in front of me were wheat fields, without a trace of light.

There should be a light in the corridor, I followed the light in the room and could see that there were lamps on the top of the corridor, but all of them were not turned on, and I asked Xuanning's cousin, she said that her father told her not to turn it on, and at night only the light from the outside of the mourning hall was allowed, according to superstition, I was afraid that the soul of the second grandfather would go to the wrong place.

Ren Ruoyi was cleaning up inside, and suddenly let out another scream, and I turned my head to look at her, who was standing there staring in the direction of the window.

"What's wrong, Ruoyi?"

Not only me, but even Cousin Xuan Ning in the room looked at her suddenly screaming in confusion.

Ren Ruoyi was stunned, stared at the window left and right before saying, "When I was playing poker just now, a black shadow suddenly rushed over outside the window, which scared me. ”

"Dark Shadow?" I went over and looked out the window, and because of the light in the room, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, and I said, "Maybe it's bats, a lot of bats are flying around at night." ”

Ren Ruoyi shook her head: "It's much bigger than a bat, and it scurried by the window, not flying over." ”

"That's wild cats and wild dogs and the like, Ruoyi, don't always make a fuss, fortunately, I don't know here and think that Ren Sheng did something to you." Cousin Xuan Ning looked at me and Ren Ruoyi jokingly with a smile.

I was embarrassed for a while, but Cousin Xuanning was right, she was always startled and screaming, and it was really easy to be misunderstood.

Ren Ruoyi herself was also a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue and walked out of the room with Cousin Xuanning, and the two said goodnight to me and went back to the next room.
