Chapter 2 Empty Photo Frame and Taishi Chair (2)
When the sky darkened, Yang Yang looked at the strange Taishi chair in front of him and couldn't help but sit down.
The next moment he sat down in his chair, the scenery around him changed instantly.
When twilight fell, the wind blew the weeds on the ground, connecting the lonely graves. Here and now, where is there still a shadow of the village? There were graves everywhere, and the ground was barren and covered with crows, and there were foul and hoarse cries that made people feel desolate and bored.
Lonely graves are everywhere, as far as the eye can see, and in a corner, in front of an unnamed grave, there is no tombstone, but an old wooden chair is placed.
On the wooden chair, Yang Yang seemed to have lost his soul, and his eyes were blank.
After a while, Yang Yang came to his senses, saw the scene around him, and immediately screamed and jumped up from his chair.
Frightened, just as he was hesitating, a man bumped into him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a plainly dressed girl, with a red scarf tied around her neck, like a butterfly fluttering away. The girl ran a few steps and stopped, and turned around and smiled, the ghost made the god worse, Yang Yang actually followed, stopping and stopping along the way, several times Yang Yang was about to fall, but found that she was waiting for him in front again.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, so they left the wasteland and came to a suburb.
This is the interface between urban and rural areas, the streets and buildings are relatively old, but there is a large floating population, and the buildings here look like they are all in the style of the seventies and eighties. The clothes people wore were also very old, especially the few men on the street who looked like little deflated threes, wearing toad glasses, long hair, big sideburns, mustaches, plaid shirts and big bell bottoms, the same image of the gangsters in the seventies and eighties that Yang Yang's father once described.
The girl took Yang Yang into a small alley, there was an aunt selling cotton candy in the alley, the girl pestered Yang Yang to buy it for her, Yang Yang promised her by the ghost, and she didn't know where to get the coin, so she bought one for her.
The girl was eating a marshmallow and looked very happy.
Soon after, the girl took Yang Yang back to her home, her family lived in a courtyard house, there were many people living in the yard, and it was very lively.
The girl's name is Hongling, and she has no mother, only a father in his forties and fifties, and her father has a clear scar on his face, saying that he fought with a group of thugs when he was young. Creation makes people, he was not killed in a fight, but at that time he was slashed in the face by a thug, and blood flowed down his face, and when he went home, Hongling's mother saw her and scared her to death.
It can't be said that Hongling's mother is timid, because Hongling's father is usually an honest person, and no one who is familiar with him can imagine that he can fight with a group of gangsters.
Hongling's mother was scared to death when Hongling was only five years old, because the family was poor at that time and did not leave a photo, until now Hongling can't remember what her mother looks like.
At that time, Hongling's family did not live in the current courtyard, Hongling's father was the son-in-law, and later Hongling's mother was scared to death by Hongling's father, and Hongling's father was kicked out of the house by her father-in-law.
At that time, Hongling's father was desperate, but the old owner of the courtyard in front of him kindly took in their father and daughter, and also taught him some skills.
What's even more interesting is that Hongling's father later learned that the only seedling son who took in his old master turned out to be one of the gangsters who fought with him.
When Hongling's father found out about this, he was quite entangled, but he was embarrassed to take his daughter away directly, after all, it was the old master who taught him the skill of supporting his family. In the end, Hongling's father made the matter clear and told the old master about it.
When the old master heard this, he was furious, called his son over, and asked his son to apologize to Hongling's father in person.
In the end, after understanding, the old master's son was not the main culprit, and he didn't even do it at that time, so Hongling's father and him turned into jade silk and became friends.
Of course, Yang Yang didn't know any of these things. Now he didn't even know the girl's name.
There was a Taishi chair in the courtyard, and at this time, Hongling's father was sitting on the Taishi chair with a pipe in his mouth, and when he saw Hongling returning home with Yang Yang, he asked, "Girl, who is this child?" ”
Hongling smiled sweetly and said to her father: "He is my classmate, called Yang Yang, he came to our house as a guest today, you won't be welcome, right?" ”
"Welcome, of course welcome." Hongling's father smiled kindly, stood up and went back to the room to prepare the food and drinks.
Seeing Hongling coming with Yang Yang, the men and women in the courtyard all pointed at Yang Yang, making Yang Yang embarrassed.
In this courtyard, a gray-haired old man is the most conspicuous, he is the old owner of this courtyard, but the people in the courtyard don't know what his real name is, so they all call him 'old man'.
Hongling told Yang Yang her name and introduced him to the people in the courtyard.
Yang Yang blended into the house in such a daze, and followed Hongling into the house, and Hongling's father also prepared a meal at this time.
Hongling's father is also surnamed Yang and is called Yang Bolin. At this time, the wine and food had already been put on the table, and when I saw Hongling and Yang Yang walking in, I smiled faintly and said to Hongling: "Go and call the old man and your Uncle Caodan, and eat wine together." ”
Hongling left the room, and only Yang Yang and Yang Bolin were left in the room.
Yang Bolin looked at Yang Yang with a smile and said, "We have no rules, if you are hungry, you can eat first, sit down, don't stand." ”
Yang Yang sat down, Yang Bolin looked at Yang Yang curiously, and said: "Hongling rarely brings her classmates home, let alone male classmates, even female classmates rarely stay with her. Looks like you're on good terms. ”
Yang Yang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood, the relationship between me and Hongling is pure. ”
"What's so shy about this. I married Hongling and her mother when I was sixteen years old, and gave birth to Hongling at the age of seventeen, haha. Yang Bolin laughed while talking, talked for a long time, and finally shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Hongling's mother died early and didn't live a good life with me." ”
While the two were chatting, Hongling walked in with the old man and a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man is the son of the old man, and his nickname is Caodan.
Just like that, a table of people sat together, eating and drinking and chatting, which was very lively.
During the meal, Yang Yang asked about the deserted cemetery, but everyone present said that they had never heard of this place, so Yang Yang didn't ask more, and the matter was over.
After being full of wine and food, Cao Dan helped the old man back to his house. And Yang Yang was also drunk, and was taken to bed by Yang Bolin in a groggy state, and fell asleep in a daze.
