Chapter 21 The Sailor Teaching
At this time, it was not dark yet, even if it was dark in the supply and marketing cooperative, it would not be difficult to see people. But I couldn't see the man's face clearly, as if he was standing behind the door and hidden.
At the time, I was sure I had never met this person.
Why did I think this thought, I think I would rather it be someone I've seen.
Although there are many places in the village that I am not familiar with, the appearance of this person is definitely not from our village. Especially looking at him as if he was hiding in the dark, not only could he not see his appearance clearly, but his clothes were a little weird and he couldn't see clearly.
Yubao's husband's destiny was originally considered tall, but this person seems to be much taller than destiny. I don't think I saw his eyes, because if I did, I think I would be scared to pee my pants.
I don't know if I deliberately avoided that person, but my mind went almost blank at the time. I was so nervous and scared that I thought everyone had seen it, thinking that although it wasn't daylight, it wasn't dark anyway! I don't dare to think about weird things.
I remember I had something in my hand, and when I looked at it, it was a few black and white threads entwined together, and it was a thing that the adults said could ward off evil spirits. Seeing that it was still in my hands made me feel much more relieved.
Looking at what was going on with Niu Yongzhen, he handed the change he was looking for to Jiuyuan. I've always known that Hisano has no shortage of money in his hands, because he loves to play cards. This is a popular game in Xiangchu, but with the change of entertainment, it has now become a way for everyone to gamble.
I don't know when it started, but many parents are proud that their children can recognize the honor card early, or be able to play the word card. Almost every household has a few cards, and when relatives or guests come, the first entertainment that comes to everyone's mind is to sit down and play cards together.
I thought that Hisazono likes to play cards, and it has a lot to do with his superhuman memory. As for how to play this card, although I know some, I haven't studied it in depth, and I can't say it clearly in a word.
However, legend has it that many people are afraid of Jiuyuan, because he basically has a few cards in everyone's hand, as long as everyone walks a few cards, they will guess the best of ten. So playing cards with the old and young in the village, he rarely loses or loses a lot.
At the mansion where we lived, sometimes we would talk and always ask him how much he had won. But he always smiled faintly, and I felt a little unfathomable.
He is also more generous, because he has spare money in his hands, and he usually sees popsicles selling coming to the mansion, as long as there are children like us around, he will always pay us to buy them, and everyone is naturally closer to him.
Seeing the money handed over by Destiny, Jiuyuan didn't take it pretentiously, but gave it to her sister Huayuan casually. Huayuan was obviously very happy, and I don't know why, but I also faintly felt envious.
But then when I looked at my fate, I suddenly had a strange feeling, and that feeling was a little indescribable, but it just felt that he was different from Niu Yongzhen and Jiuyuan. I looked at him in a daze, but I couldn't say anything for a while.
Yonghui suddenly asked me what was wrong in my ear, and I realized that I was holding her right hand tightly. Although I seemed to smell a faint fragrance, I didn't know why, but I didn't have the slightest sense of joy.
You may feel my body trembling and my eyes full of fear. Yonghui didn't blame me, but looked at me suspiciously. Seeing that no one was looking at me, she pulled me aside and whispered again.
Maybe it's because of the relationship between her grandmother and my grandmother, and her mother is really a good person, so she has a very kind heart since she was a child. It is said that she hugged me shortly after I was born, so you can imagine the relationship between our family.
I usually like to hold her warm little hands, although she works all day and night, but her fingers are slender and silky, I think it may be natural. But today I didn't think about it at all, because I was nervous.
I was about to tell her what I saw, but when I looked up at Jade again and tried to tell her who the person was, I didn't see the person.
The man was gone.
That person really disappeared, and there was only the gate of the supply and marketing cooperatives behind Yubao, and the electric lights had been lit inside the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Yonghui gently pressed the palm of her right hand against my forehead, as if seeing that I was nothing, she whispered to me to go back with them later, and not to run too far and find no one. They were going to go over and buy tickets together, because they knew it was impossible to go in with me.
I stood there stunned, I knew I was not mistaken, but what about that person?
Mingwu also walked to Yubao's side, and the eyes of both of them seemed to be full of love. I've heard people say that they are free love, one handsome and chic, the other beautiful and charming, it's a match made in heaven.
Seeing their figures enter the supply and marketing cooperative, because they are about to enter the market, many people have flocked to the ticket gate and the entrance gate.
Xiaohua pushed me a little puzzled, I came back to my senses, looked at him fixedly for a while, looked around carefully, and asked him in a low voice if he had seen the person behind Yubao. Xiao Hua shook his head and asked me what the man looked like.
I dragged him to the door of the cinema and whispered a description. Xiaohua seems to be very sober now, and he is a little uncertain to say that Yubao's grandfather is probably like that, but he usually does small business everywhere and rarely stays at home.
Hearing Xiaohua's statement, I don't know if it's psychological, I don't have such a heavy psychological pressure. Then I forced myself to think that the man was Yubao's grandfather, because the old man I had indeed seen before, tall and red-faced.
Because there were so many people in front of the cinema, I gradually disappeared that fear. Seeing Niu Yongzhen queuing up to buy tickets, Yonghui and Peony stood together, because of Peony's eye-catching, they attracted countless eyes.
What surprised me was the five brothers of the Gou family, who obviously also saw the peony, but surprisingly did not whistle to the peony. Although a few of them kept staring at the peony, they didn't expect to come to find trouble or cause trouble.
I could see from Peony's eyes that they seemed to know each other. I suddenly remembered that they belonged to the same township, even if they were not from the same village, and although the primary school was not together, the middle school must be the same school.
Looking at the younger two of the five brothers, as well as the ten-year-olds around them, I guess they should be classmates, or the ones they usually see. There is also a possibility that these people know Peony's identity and know that there are college students in Peony's family.
At this time, it seems that everyone is about the same, and there is no shadow in the heart caused by the gap between the rich and the poor later. However, whether there are people who read at home or not, for the people in the township, it is a huge gap, which is the best interpretation of cultural people and the current situation of society in different eras.
The queue to buy tickets is very long, but the ticket gate has already begun to be checked. Xiaohua didn't see my uncle, and was obviously very anxious around me.
I'm also a little apprehensive, although my uncle didn't say that it was unreliable, but after all, there were times when words didn't count. Especially Xiaohua and I are children. Maybe he's too busy to take care of us.
Seeing that Niu Yongzhen and the others all bought tickets, they all entered the venue one after another, and the number of people at the door of the movie theater gradually decreased. Mr. Li's beautiful music is still singing, but listening to Xiaohua's ears and me, it feels particularly harsh.
I watched everyone go in, and there were also some children coming around at the door, obviously trying to blend in. But the aunt at the door who checked the ticket was still standing there. Because the cinema belongs to the public property of the village, the ticket inspectors are all arranged by the Women's Federation.
Xiaohua is a little unhappy, and I am naturally not much better. Just when we thought it was hopeless, we heard the voice of our uncle summoning us. We couldn't help but be overjoyed when we saw our uncle greeting us right at the staircase on the second floor.
There was a staircase next to the ticket gate to go up to the second floor, and I seemed to know that my uncle was in trouble, and the aunt who checked the ticket smiled kindly at us.
We excitedly followed my uncle to the second floor, but went up half a flight of stairs to the independent screening room where he worked. To my surprise, there is another person here, whom I also know, is my uncle's apprentice Niu Hu Chan.
He beckoned us to sit next to him, because he had two lookouts, the same ones in front of the movie machine. It must be for the announcer to usually watch.
As I passed by the black gramophone, I couldn't help but look greedily, the slow-moving disc was so attractive to me. We obediently sat down next to Niu Huchan, and sure enough, we could clearly see the inside of the movie theater from that lookout.
However, before my uncle could start playing, there was a commotion in the movie theater. At first, everyone didn't care, but as the sound got louder and louder, accompanied by screams, everyone knew that something was wrong.
I looked down from the lookout and saw a bunch of people huddled together, punching, kicking and pushing, and it turned out that someone was fighting. Because it was almost full at night, and I don't know how many people were in the cinema, who dared to get closer at this time.
Niu Huchan asked my uncle what to do, and he told him to go to the village leader and sit in front of the microphone wrapped in red cloth to talk. The meaning is nothing more than to ask everyone not to do it, otherwise they will have to call the police station.
Even if the people in the movie theater heard it, how could they stop so quickly. I saw that the people were all huddled together, and they didn't know who was beating whom. Suddenly, I saw a strange phenomenon, it turned out that a man was walking quickly towards the pile of people who were fighting.
Originally, because everyone was fighting, many people crowded over, and some women desperately pulled away. The aisle is less than a meter wide, and people on the periphery can't surround it at all. But this man is like a loach, and everyone who touches him seems to be automatically separated.
Even when I was young, I knew that it wasn't these people who were separated, because this person was holding his hands in front of him, as if he were going to separate them. And he didn't stop for the slightest, his hands kept moving forward, and he walked forward as if he were being pushed.
He soon got to the pile of people who were fighting, and shouted for everyone's help.
