Winter 1964. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The north wind is roaring. A scrap of paper on the ground was rolled up and rolled wildly in the air. If you look closely, it looks like a newspaper. Because there are so many words on it. Unintelligible words.
The woman chased the piece of paper, almost from the street to the end of the street. Finally, when he was about to reach the end of the street, he jumped hard, and his hand in mid-air finally grabbed the piece of paper.
Satisfied, the woman placed the piece of paper in the wastebasket behind her, and pressed it with a brick to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
After a short walk, the woman passed by a compound.
When I looked up, I didn't recognize the words on it. But she knew the moon carved on the plaque. Just at the beginning of the month, a homicide occurred in this place. The whole family was killed, and not a single one was left alive. Not even the little ones left.
But it didn't take long for it to happen, that is, seven or eight days. The house was filled again. And these people, on the first day they moved in, directly found the murderer at that time.
This is big news. So big that even a woman like a person who picks up rags can know about it. And the story begins with this house.
------
"Master! I can't stand it anymore! The little girl cried out with a frowning face. Squatting for three or four hours on this day is too difficult for a child of four or five years old. Not to mention a little girl.
"Master! Master! Seeing that no one cared for her, the little girl reluctantly called out into the house again.
"If you can't stand it, you have to take it." A woman's voice came from inside the house. The irrefutable implication in the tone was already obvious.
The little girl bit her lower lip, tears already rolling in her eyes, and she was about to fall when she saw it. Again, a voice came from the room: "Don't cry." ”
The little girl bit her lip hard, and the tears in her eyes were forced to hold back. At this time, the people in the house finally came out.
It's a woman dressed in dark green. He didn't wear any makeup on his face, and he didn't wear any gold or silver jewelry.
The little girl didn't know exactly how old the woman was, nor what her name was. I only know that on that night half a month ago, this woman took herself out of the house. Then he brought her back a few days later. And when he returned, there was no one in the house.
"How long has it been piercing?" The woman asked.
The little girl's body shook slightly, and then it was stabilized again.
"Two hours."
The woman nodded, "There is still an hour." ”
The little girl finally couldn't hold back at this moment, and cried out with a "wow". He didn't know who the woman really was. It was only when she returned to this place again that the woman pressed herself to kneel down and recognize her as her master.
Woman in green. This is the little girl herself secretly giving the woman a name.
The little girl's surname is Lan. But even she didn't know what it was called.
"You don't need to know what your name is." Said the woman in green. "It's like you don't know where the people in this house have gone."
Lan looked at the woman through the tears in her eyes. This woman, who is called Master, never seems to worry about anything else. Ever since she came back here, Master has been training her to do the horse. From one hour a day at the beginning, it has been added to three hours in just one month. And when Zamabu was in Zamabu, Master didn't allow her to talk to anyone, and she wasn't allowed to do anything else.
"You have to learn to be alone." This was the most Master said to Lan. Lan didn't understand what the master meant, but she didn't know why, so she did it herself. Although the process of Zama step is boring.
When I'm really bored, even the birds flying in the yard, I know, the ants crawling on the ground, the caterpillars. She'll keep an eye on it.
At a young age, it is the time when imagination is at its richest. Looking at the little insects and birds in the sky and on the ground, the little heart will inevitably stage a big battle between you and me. It's just a pity that there are too many such wars, and Lan himself is starting to feel bored.
Three hours have come. Lan sat on the ground with a buttocks, and her mouth was ready to cry. At this time, when the master stands on the side, there will be an extra candy in his hand. Of course, sometimes it's a bunch of sugar gourds or something. Anyway, every time he finishes tying up the horse, the master will give himself some sweetness.
Lan looked at the eaves in the courtyard and asked Master, "Master, you say, where did I go for them?" ”
Big, is the name of the southerners for their father. Almost every time Lan finishes practicing horse steps, he will say this to the master. And every time the master answers, it is the same sentence:
"When you're done walking, you'll find it yourself."
Lan looked at the master and felt that Da Da was just going out again, and this master was just coming to take care of himself temporarily. It won't be long before Da will be back. Just like before, every time he goes out, he entrusts himself to the care of his relatives. Then when he came back, he picked himself up.
"Go back to eating." The master looked at the jujube tree at the gate of the courtyard for a long time with his hands behind his back, then turned around and went back to the house first.
Lan followed him back to the house and found that the dishes and chopsticks had been arranged. The other subordinates had already finished eating, and they were all waiting by the side at this time. Wait for them to finish eating and clean up the dishes.
"What were you thinking about today when you were in Zamabu." Master asked.
Lan leaned on the edge of the table with a bowl in her hand, stretching out her hand to try to catch the green leaves on it. But I'm still too young, and my hands aren't long enough to reach.
Master glanced at her, picked up a vegetable leaf and put it in her bowl, and then asked, "Huh?" ”
"Xiaoqing came to see me today." Lan took a bite of rice and put it in his mouth, and his words were a little slurred.
"Xiaoqing?" Master frowned, "Who is it?" ”
"Ants." Lan chewed and swallowed the rice: "And Xiao Hei, Xiao Hong"
Master patiently listened to Lan introduce almost all the ants in the yard, and then asked, "And then." ”
"They're fighting. They are bad. Lan said. I tried to stop them, but Master wouldn't let me move. ”
"What did you see besides watching them fight?" Master continued to ask.
"Hmm" Lan Pao pulled the rice grains in the bowl and thought for a long time. Finally, he jumped off the stool to serve the meal: "No." But after saying that, he thought about it and said, "By the way, there is a person who came and knocked on the door today while the master was away."
