Chapter 42: Departure
The sound of the clashing of dishes and chopsticks behind him has not stopped, and the fat uncle seems to have a good appetite today, chatting with Xiao An while eating, and he can laugh easily from time to time.
This may be because he is relieved, after all, he understands that the person who is sitting on the threshold now is his nephew.
"Fat uncle."
"What's wrong?"
"I miss my big brother so much" Xiao An's voice was slightly crying, and that kind of immature words made me can't help but redden: "Where did the big brother go?" ”
"He's out of breath (going) busy." The fat uncle said with a smile: "I'll come back when I have time." ”
Xiao An didn't speak again, he should be silently eating his Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and after half a ring, he asked tentatively, his tone full of unspeakable fear.
I desperately pressed down to control my body from shaking, my head may have never been buried so low, almost the Chinese New Year's Eve meal with my face against the meal, but I had to do it.
If I hadn't, I'd have seen that I'd been in tears. I suppressed the discomfort caused by choking, and kept swallowing the food in my mouth, trying to stop the sound of my almost crying in this way
What the hell is this kid thinking all day long?!
Damn it!! How could I not want you anymore?!!
"I lost my father and mother, and I don't care about him, this child may feel unaccompanied," I murmured in my heart: "You are already a disciple of the Yi family, you should be strong, damn it, what are you doing, or you are not strong."
The Yi family has been passed down to the present, and it seems that there is only one apprentice left, Xiao An, who must be strong and must be obtained
Even if I think this way is very selfish, I still want to say that Xiao An must not embarrass the Yi family.
If the Yi family loses a few more pieces of face, let alone the old man, even me, I'm afraid I will have to die.
Xiao An was not as strong as I had hoped, and after being quiet for a while, he suddenly began to cry, but the cry was not loud, just a small sob, as if he was forcibly controlled by himself.
"I miss my big brother so much, he said he was going to come back, could he be lying to me"
"I look at the things that my big brother gave me every day, and I'm very well-behaved, I look at them every day."
Before Xiao An finished speaking, the fat uncle interrupted him coldly and diverted Xiao An's attention with something else.
"Xiao An, your eldest brother has given you something, do you understand the oil (no)?"
Hearing this, Xiao An was silent for a moment, and then said timidly: "Understand a little bit"
"For example?"
"Xiangxi chases corpses and avoids people" Xiao An's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was a little embarrassed: "Big brother taught me how to sing this sentence, and now I can sing the next few sentences"
When I heard the familiar eight words, my body trembled involuntarily, and a smile gradually appeared on my face.
"Sing it to Uncle Fat." Uncle Fat laughed.
Ann hummed obediently, and then sang the incantation I was familiar with.
In fact, he was not singing, but was muttering word by word in a childish voice, and it seemed that he was not familiar with the lyrics I taught him before leaving Guiyang.
"A gong jingled, the god of joy looked at thousands of homes, thousands of households were stable, and only one family was mourned in tears."
"There is suffering in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death wait for reincarnation, relatives die thousands of miles of land, kneel and beg God to send their relatives back."
"I like God has great mercy, and I ordered the corpse craftsman to send my relatives back, the boundary of ten thousand miles is not far away, and the ends of the earth will inevitably return~~~"
Listening to Xiao An singing the incantation behind him in a childish singing voice, the fat uncle couldn't help laughing, and he patted Xiao An with a smile: "Broken baby, you learn fast enough." ”
"There are many more, I won't, if only the eldest brother could come back and teach me," Xiao An said timidly.
The fat uncle was silent for a moment and said that he would come back.
At this moment, I heard a loud bang in the sky, and in an instant, the fireworks were shining, and the entire night sky was illuminated by scattered fireworks. The sound of firecrackers was also heard in the distance, resounding through the streets and alleys, the thick smell of sulfur permeated, and the sound of fireworks suddenly flooded the entire night sky.
I subconsciously looked up at the sky, stunned for a while, I didn't know what the road was, and suddenly thought of the sentence "The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year".
"Meow." As the fireworks bloomed again, the cat also tilted its head slightly, looking curiously at the once lifeless night sky.
Maybe it's like me, thinking about what things that look beautiful but are fleeting.
I knew they were fireworks, but they seemed to represent something else
At this point, the rain stopped without warning, and I knew it was time for me to leave.
"Kitten, Rhubarb asks if you want to come in and play."
Xiao An in the hall suddenly shouted, and the cat turned his head, as if talking to something around him, and meowed several times with his teeth and claws, and then patted the air in front of him with his paws, and continued to look back at the fireworks with me.
"The rain has stopped, it's time to go." I patted my pants and stood up, reluctant to leave the place, but I had to go, after all, it was easy to be noticed that something was wrong here, and I didn't know how long I could endure not to reveal my true identity
Seriously, God is tormenting.
My dearest person is behind me, but I can't turn back, and the end of turning back is probably death.
It's right that there are people here to protect Uncle Fat, and it's not wrong that the people in the No. 8 pawnshop don't dare to make a move, even if I meet Uncle Fat and them in a grand manner, it's okay, but don't forget
If my identity is revealed, then everything that follows will be never-ending trouble.
Galeries Lafayette and the God of Wealth calves are likely to be broken with me, especially Lafayette, who seems to have believed that something is in my hands, although this is true, but for me, he believes so much that those treasures are in my hands, which is definitely not good news.
Master told me that Lafayette has gone crazy from a certain point of view.
"After revealing your location, within a month, you will most likely die at the hands of Lafayette." When the master told me this, he didn't mean to joke, in addition to the solemnity on his face, there was only a faint fear: "Lafayette is not a character who can be handled casually, not to mention that Bai Dao wants to protect you, that is, the king of heaven Lao Tzu protects you, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, if he wants you to die on the first day, you will not survive the second day." ”
Although the master's words are suspected of being exaggerated, I do believe it.
It's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow, I admit that Lafayette has this ability, I won't necessarily die if I come openly, and I think I'll die when I come secretly, it's not a joke.
One wrong step, all the games are lost, and now I really can't afford to lose.
"Broken baby, I've been hungry lately, and you found that you were oiled (no)?"
At the same time as I stood up, Uncle Fat said this, Xiao An nodded, and said, Uncle Fat is indeed in good health.
But only I know that Uncle Fat said this to me, and he meant to tell me not to worry about him, he was fine.
"Thank you for your hospitality, I'll go first." I nodded and smiled, bent down and gently put the chopsticks in my hand on the ground, beckoned to the kitten, and turned to leave.
The fat uncle didn't speak, Xiao An said no thank you to me, jumped off the chair and ran over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then ran in again.
When I was about to leave the gate of the wreath shop, I pretended to glance in the direction of the fat uncle, and suddenly found that he was also looking at me blankly.
Maybe that's when I started to discover one thing.
The fat uncle is no longer the fat man who can be funny every day.
He was indeed old, old enough that I could see the gray hair on his sideburns.
Maybe it's his mentality in the past that makes him look younger, but in fact, he should be in his forties now, right?
Looking at the fat uncle's slightly cloudy eyes, I smiled, pretended to be extremely relaxed, turned around, and left silently.
"God, let time slow down, don't let time hurt the fat uncle again" I dragged my snakeskin bag and walked in the dim alleyway with the cat, my face was not reluctant, but full of pleading.
Anyway, I've been like this in my life, and I don't want anything more, I just ask God not to hurt the people I want to protect anymore, I just want to ask God to show mercy
Fortunately, I had good luck that day, on the way out, I didn't encounter any trouble, and I left Beijing Road smoothly and walked far, far away from the wreath shop.
After I found a public toilet and went in, I ran to the cubicle to change the clothes and pants that had been prepared, and when I saw that there was no one in the toilet, I washed my face in front of the mirror, washed the dirt on my face, looked at myself in the mirror, and nodded.
"This departure may be goodbye."
"Surnamed Yi, do what you have to do, use your own" I muttered madly, tapping the mirror with my finger: "Use this spark of your own to burn everything that should be burned, and you have to let them die and deserve to live"
Speaking of this, I was stunned for a moment and didn't go any further.
Whether the people who should live will live, whether they can live or not, I really can't guarantee it, Yujia should live, and the old man should live, but they are all dead.
God, what do you think I'm going to do next?
