Chapter 24: Eating Eggs
Thinking about it like this, I am even more worried, if my uncle insists on stopping me from seeing Zhao Meijie, I can't see her.
Uncle was afraid that I would run out by myself, so he simply moved a stool and guarded by the bed, I had no choice but to pretend to sleep, but I didn't expect that it didn't take long for me to really fall asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark, but when I saw that my uncle was still sitting at the head of my bed, when he saw me open his eyes, he handed me a plate of steamed eggs, and said, "Fanwazi, you wake up, hurry up and eat something." ”
Steamed eggs again?
I looked at the uncle with an aggrieved face and said, "Uncle, I want to eat something else, can I eat this steamed egg tomorrow?" ”
"No, no, Fanwazi, you have to listen to your uncle in this matter, you are too weak now, eating other things will hurt you."
Although I already had a little resistance to steamed eggs in my heart, since my uncle said that I can't eat anything but steamed eggs now, I have to reluctantly eat the steamed eggs.
Seeing my painful look, the uncle actually smiled, took out a deck of cards from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Come on, I know you must be tired of eating, or I'll play with you for a while." ”
Uncle actually wants to play with me for a while?
So, I played cards with my uncle, but he seemed to be able to see through the cards in my hand, and I lost several hands in a row, and I felt bored and didn't want to play.
Before I knew it, it was two o'clock in the morning, and my sleepiness came back and I said I wanted to sleep.
And although the uncle yawned all day long and his eyes were red, he didn't let me sleep and forced me to play cards with him.
I can't cry or laugh, Uncle is addicted, no way, the elders are respected, and I can only play cards with Uncle.
In the middle of the night, I was hungry again, so I asked my uncle to cook some food for me, but I didn't expect him to bring me a bowl of egg custard and force me to eat it.
After eating the steamed eggs, I was really nauseous and wanted to vomit, so I told my uncle that I was sleepy, but the uncle seemed to be addicted to playing cards, so he insisted that I accompany him to play a few more games.
As a result, the chickens crowed outside.
Uncle smiled and said, "Okay, I see you're sleepy too, sleep, don't worry, I'm here to guard you." ”
Even if I sleep, you have to keep watching? I was in despair.
I had to pretend to be asleep while secretly looking at the uncle, the uncle hadn't slept for so long, he should have taken a nap, but I looked at it for a long time, and the uncle's eyes were red, but he didn't close them, he stared at me so deadly, and he felt quite scary after looking at it for a long time.
In the end, I simply gave up, it seemed that I didn't have a chance to see Zhao Meijie tonight, so I went straight to sleep.
In a daze, I heard a rustling sound, and I squinted to see that the uncle was not sitting next to me, but standing at the door with his back to me, and there seemed to be a person standing opposite him, and they were talking.
I don't know what they talked about, the man suddenly raised his voice and shouted at my uncle: "You don't pay attention to righteousness, every family wants eggs, but you didn't look for my family, my family can't bear it." ”
Uncle shushed and looked back at me, so I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The eldest uncle paused, and then said: "Niu Er, what are you yelling at, I naturally have my idea to arrange it like this, and you can do what I say." By the way, what I asked you to seek, did you find it? ”
"Not yet."
"And what are you going to do?"
"I'm not worried about the eggs, am I?"
"Put your heart in my stomach, hurry up and help me find that thing, don't come here if there's nothing to do, I'll come to you if there's anything."
With that, the uncle turned and went into the house.
I had to continue to pretend to be asleep, but just now the uncle seemed to call that person Niu Er? It should be the Niu Er next door to our house.
But I don't usually see him have any friendship with his uncle, why did he come to him so early today, and said that he wanted to help his uncle find something, it's really strange.
The point is that he also talked about eggs, so what's going on? Does it have anything to do with him whether I eat eggs or not?
Forget it, I didn't bother to think about it, I was tired, so I lay on the bed and fell asleep.
This sleep went straight to noon, and it was my mother who called me up to eat. When I saw it, it was egg custard again, and I was immediately unhappy.
My mother sighed and said, "Okay, Fanwazi, don't make any trouble, your uncle said that if you want to live, you can only eat egg custard, and you can't eat anything else." ”
I suddenly remembered that Niu Er mentioned "eating eggs", and hurriedly asked my mother, where did this egg come from?
My mother said, "The folks sent it." Hey, just send one for each family, you say it's weird, it's not strange. ”
"One egg per family? This is strange enough. I said that I didn't care on the surface, but in fact, I didn't know the bottom in my heart. Niu Er said why he didn't eat his eggs, and then thought of it, it was really mysterious.
Hey, I'm still worrying about what happened that night, why did Uncle start to get weird?
So I asked my uncle, and my mother said that she was guarding Zhao Meijie's house. Then Zhao Meijie hasn't eaten or drunk for the past few days, and your uncle won't let me see her, I'm really worried that Zhao Meijie has three longs and two shorts.
I hurriedly comforted my mother and said don't worry, there is an uncle in charge.
Uncle walked in at this moment.
"Fanwazi, go to sleep." There was a strange smile on the corner of the uncle's mouth: "I stayed up late last night, I was tired." ”
I couldn't refute my uncle's words, so I lay down obediently, closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
After seeing that I closed my eyes, the uncle walked out, I took a sneak peek, and found that the uncle went to the door of Zhao Meijie's room again.
Uncle doesn't sleep at night or during the day, can he stay up?
Lying in bed, it didn't take long for me to fall asleep again.
In a daze, I seemed to hear a burst of crying. The crying voice was very sad and familiar, I recognized it at once, wasn't it Zhao Meijie's cry?
"Don't eat eggs." Zhao Meijie said: "If you eat it, spit it out secretly, otherwise you will die." ”
"What do you mean?" I was puzzled, and looked at her inexplicably: "Zhao Meijie, you are mistaken, how could the uncle harm me?" ”
Zhao Meijie said: "It's better to listen to me." You have eaten their eggs, and it is the cause, so you have to bear the evil fruit for them. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Meijie didn't say more, and got under the pillow.
"Don't go, Zhao Meijie, don't go!" I panicked and shouted unscrupulously.
But at this moment, my head touched a cold and hard mass, and the cold immediately rushed into my mind, and I instantly sobered up a lot, and sat up from the bed violently.
"Nightmares?" Uncle's voice exploded in his ears.
