Chapter 398: Painting the Land and Sending the Soul
After making a phone call and returning to the accommodation, Qiang Shun and I lay down in bed and fell asleep, sleeping until sunset and dusk, and finally woke up hungry.
After getting dressed and washing my face, I took the initiative to ask Qiang Shun to follow me to the stall to eat and do something by the way. Qiang Shun asked me what I was doing, I didn't say, can I tell him I have to return Tian Tian's coat?
But Qiang Shun is not stupid, he has long been suspicious, so he asked me who the girl's gown I showed to Lu Laosan before. I said, don't worry, it's definitely not Xiaoya's, but Qiang Shun is entangled.
In order to divert his attention, I asked him rhetorically, do you say Xiaoya is beautiful or Tian Tian is beautiful? Qiang Shun said, of course, Tian Tian is beautiful. I asked him again, then why did you take a fancy to Xiaoya and not to Tian Tian? Qiang Shun immediately covered his mouth and spit out, I like big breasts......
This is Qiang Shun's original words, I didn't adapt this sentence at all, he covered his mouth and glanced at the girl as soon as he saw it, and the place he glanced at was basically the girl's chest, giving people a feeling of covering their ears and stealing the bell.
Came to the stall, Xiaoya served us food and wine, Xiaoya also asked us, mainly to ask Qiang Shun, why did I come later than usual today, I glanced at Xiaoya, remembered what Qiang Shun said, couldn't help but lower my eyes, and glanced at her chest, in order to cover up my not bright behavior, I said to her: "I worked for a while today, and I came late." ”
After Xiaoya left, Qiang Shun asked me in a low voice: "What's the matter, it's much bigger than Tian Tian, right?" ”
I picked up the bottle and poured a glass for Qiang Shun, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Qiang Shun said: "Don't pretend to be confused, your breasts are much bigger than Tian Tian, right?" ”
After Qiangshun's glass was full, I poured it into my own glass, and said as I poured it: "Where do I know that I can be like you, staring at other girls' breasts all day long." ”
Qiang Shun was not happy when he heard it, "Didn't you see it just now?" ”
I said seriously: "Who read it, I didn't read it." ”
Qiang Shun immediately raised his voice, "Liu Huanghe, don't pretend to be serious with me, do you dare to say that you didn't watch it just now?"
I glanced at him, and was about to quibble, when a voice came from the side, "What are you looking at?" ”
I was excited at the same time as Qiang Shun, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was Tian Tian.
I hurriedly stood up from my position, "Nothing. ”
"Nothing you're talking about?"
I glanced at Qiang Shun with a weak heart, and I said again: "Don't ask, you come with me, I have something to do." ”
Forced obedient also stood up, and I pointed at him, "You sit down and drink your wine, don't come with you." ”
I quickly stuffed the gown in my pocket to her, she blushed, and I hurriedly said, "You put it away quickly, don't let anyone see it." ”
Tian Tian asked, "Don't you want to give me a gown when you give it back to me?" ”
I hurriedly said, "No, I've already used it, and it's useless for me to keep this thing, but don't worry, I'll buy you tomorrow what color gown you like." ”
Tian Tian showed a faint smile and said, "I don't want a small coat, can you buy me a separate one?" ”
I asked, "What do you want?" ”
Tian Tian didn't even think about it, and said excitedly: "I want a fluffy bear." ”
I swallowed my saliva secretly, a small coat is only a dozen yuan, and a fluffy teddy bear can get dozens of dollars, but who told us to be sorry for others, who let us still say that people are the little daughter-in-law of the profiteer.
"Don't you want to?" Tian Tian asked.
I hurriedly came back to my senses, "No, no, I'll buy it for you tomorrow." ”
Tian Tian smiled happily, "Then can I go with you tomorrow?" ”
I frowned and asked, "You don't have to work tomorrow?" ”
"I'll tell my aunt, and my aunt will definitely agree."
I thought for a moment and said, "I think you better not go, I still have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll take a little leave from lunch at lunch, and I'll have to come back when I buy things in the city." ”
Tian Tian suddenly looked a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't entangle me anymore.
After eating, I asked Qiang Shun to go back first, I had to find a place where no one was there to send the profiteer away, but Qiang Shun didn't want to go back, so he had to stay at the stall to help, saying that if I came to the stall to call him when I went back, I nodded and agreed, and left the stall.
At this time, it was already about ten o'clock in the evening, and the street was deserted, so I followed the road all the way east, and after leaving the village, I came to a relatively secluded barren meadow.
The paper figure with the ghost of the profiteer was taken out of his body, squatted down and drew a circle on the ground, to be precise, this circle was not actually drawn on the ground, it was drawn in the void three inches above the ground, in the current parlance, this is painted with my own mind, in my own words, this is drawn with another power of my own, this is the magic power handed down from our family. However, I can't see the circle I draw, not even myself, it's just an idea.
Subsequently, he lit the paper figure with a lighter, pinched the paper figure and put it in the circle, and read in his mouth: "The wandering soul enters the ground, the lonely ghost returns to its place, if there is no order, it must not return, and it is as urgent as the law."
Doing so is tantamount to forcibly beating the profiteer ghost to where it should go, and the circle drawn by the void is the gate to that place, and if you want to ask where that place is, I don't know, the craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors is like this, I just do it.
Seeing that the paper figure was about to burn to my fingers, I let go of it, and at the same time, I heard an old voice say: "Your name is Liu Huanghe, wait, sooner or later, I will come to you again"
I slowly stood up from the ground and said very calmly, "Then you come, I'll wait." "However, until now, I have not seen the old ghost appear again.
On the way back, I saw two figures on a broken wall next to the stall, it seemed to be a man and a woman, two people hugged each other tightly, I secretly shook my head in my heart, it was really the wind of the world, and they kissed on the side of the road.
When I came to the stall, there was no one on the stall, and only Tian Tian was sitting at a table dozing under the lamp. Hearing my footsteps, Tian Tian woke up, wiped the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and stood up.
I asked her, "What about Qiangshun?" ”
She replied, "I took Xiaoya out, he asked me to wait here for you to come back." ”
My heart sank, the man and woman who were in the world on the side of the road just now couldn't be them, right?
Tian Tian asked me, "Are you hungry?" I'll make you something to eat. ”
I shook my head, but Tian Tian still got into the room.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Tian came out of the room again, took out a plate of scrambled eggs in his hand, and when I put it on the table, I saw that it was almost no longer hot, as if it had been fried in advance.
"You taste it, I'll fry it for you before I close the stove." As he spoke, he handed me another pair of chopsticks.
I took the chopsticks and tasted a piece, and Tian Tian asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
I didn't answer, sighed and said: "Once upon a time I had a female classmate, we were both at the same table since childhood, we studied together, sang together, and later, I fell in love with her, and I have been liking her for many years, and suddenly one day, I received a letter from her, a letter after three years, from that moment on, I felt that she also liked me in her heart, in the letter, there was a phone number, one day, I finally couldn't help but call her, since that first call, we have been attached to each other......"
Wiping the corners of my eyes, I continued: "We were very happy and happy together at that time, and one day in the fall, I said to her, you can marry me, she said...... She said, you have never chased me, as long as you write me a love letter, I will marry you......"
"Later, when I wrote a love letter, she came to my place of work to find me, and she wanted to get the love letter early and marry me as soon as possible, but ...... But before she could get the love letter, she was hit by a car and died at the gate of our factory, I'm sorry for her. ”
"Even if she is dead, in my heart, she is still alive, I am the only one in my heart, and I will not like any girl again."
As I spoke, I put down my chopsticks and wiped away my tears without crying. I didn't go to see Tian Tian, I don't know the expression on her face at the time, I just know that she slowly got up from in front of me and walked into the storage room.
The next day, I didn't go to work, I asked Qiang Shun to go to the factory to invite me for a day, and took the car to the city to buy a beautiful plush teddy bear for Tian Tian, but when I came to the stall with the teddy bear, the stall was deserted, and there was no business, only Xiaoya sat sullenly at the door of the storage room in a daze.
I asked her, what about Tian Tian, she said, Tian Tian didn't know what was wrong this morning, she had to go home, and her sister-in-law took her home in the car. Xiaoya said in frustration that I will be the only one left in the future, so lonely.
I stuffed the teddy bear to her and said, "When Tian Tian comes back, you can give this to her."
Xiaoya said that Tian Tian said that she would not come back in the future.
I was stunned for a moment, and then said, then I'll give it to her when you go home.
Xiaoya nodded, and I turned to leave.
My affair with Tian Tian is completely over here, and I have never heard from her again, and I have never seen her again. I don't know if she's doing well now, and I don't know if Xiaoya handed over the teddy bear to her.
Two months later, the husband of the proprietress transferred jobs, and the proprietress closed the stall and left with Xiaoya.
I asked Qiang Shun why he didn't ask Xiaoya to stay, Qiang Shun didn't say anything, and after getting drunk and in pain, he became the same as me, became depressed and unhappy, and didn't smile.
However, sometimes he is drunk, and he always comforts himself with me, in his words, at least better than you, you have only held hands with Huihui, and I have kissed Xiaoya......
Another month later, we also left, and we couldn't stay in this sad place.
When I got home, my brother was still the same old man, and looking at him, the guilt in my heart gushed out again.
My family persuaded me to go out and look for a job again, but there were so many ready-made jobs, so I had no choice but to follow our village's house-building class to go out to do small work, moving bricks and ashes, at this time, the weather was already hot, I got up at five o'clock every morning, from the dawn of the day, until the sky was dark, working thirteen or fourteen hours a day, and my face and body were like black loaches in the sun.
The only joy is that after work, the two of them can find a tavern, make a side dish and drink two glasses, and then squat on the square or under the street lamp on the side of the road, and look at the beautiful girls who are expected but unattainable in the past.
Qiangshun is still the same sentence, I like big breasts. I reminded him not to stare at people with a girl coming over, and be careful that people call someone to come and beat us up.
Qiang Shun asked me, where do you say you should star?
