Chapter 21: The Mouse
The old woman giggled and asked me to buy a shroud.
I'm feeling so bad that I'm not dead yet! What to buy a shroud.
But he still squeezed out a smile on his face and said:
"Auntie, I don't want shrouds. I only buy rice and eggs and sell them. ”
"Sell?"
The old woman was stunned and looked at me with some surprise.
But soon, it seemed to understand something.
He didn't let me buy a shroud anymore, but turned around and began to walk to the back room:
"Wait, I'll get you ......"
After speaking, the old woman slowly entered the back room.
But I vaguely heard what she seemed to be saying; It turned out to be a second-class dealer.
What else to say, borrow Yin Shou.
I don't know if I heard it wrong, but her words were weird.
I was standing in the room, very uncomfortable.
This old wooden house is much more eerie and terrifying than Master Gu's wooden house.
Although Master Gu's shop is dark, there are also shrouds, paper figures and so on.
But compared to the old woman's wooden house, it is really much more comfortable.
Inside the wooden house, there are a lot of strange paper cutouts.
It's not a blessing, it's not a longevity.
Rather, it's some humanoid cutouts, or grimace patterns.
Not only that, but the house was closed all around.
But I can still clearly feel the cool breeze.
Those all kinds of shrouds hanging in the house, each shroud is not hung on a hanger.
Instead, a thin thread resembling a hair weave is used to stay on the shoulder.
swaying in the room, from time to time in the reflection of the firelight, it makes people's hearts hairy.
It always feels like a person hanging under the beams of a house, and now it is shaking in the light......
As I stood in the room and walked, nervously looking around.
A black shadow flashed from under my feet, like a big black cat.
I hurriedly avoided it.
Then I saw the black shadow scurry, and jumped onto the table.
With the help of the light, I could see what the dark shadow was.
His face changed suddenly, revealing a look of horror.
I saw that this black thing turned out to be a big black mouse.
The size of the rat was the size of most of a cat.
He is fat, his tail is longer than chopsticks, and his fur is dark and shiny, and he is not afraid of people.
At this moment, his nose twitched, and he made a rat cry of "zi, zizi", and his beard stood up and down.
He also glanced at me with glowing green eyes.
In front of me, he raised his forelimbs directly and lay on the base of the oil lamp.
Avoiding the flames of the wick, he stretched out his head and drank the oil from the oil lamp.
The sound of "popping and clicking" makes people stunned.
I grew up in the countryside, and I heard from the older generation that rats would steal lamp oil.
But never seen.
At this time, I was shocked to see that it was still such a big mouse.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I thought about getting rid of the big rat.
"Go, get out, get out of the way!"
I opened my mouth to scare the rats away.
But who knew that this big rat was not only not afraid of people, but also turned his head after drinking a few sips of lamp oil.
Standing on his hind feet, his whole body erected.
He bared his teeth at me, revealing two mouse teeth, and glared at me viciously.
Make a "squeak" sound.
It was the first time I had seen a rat dare to be fierce to a person, and I was amazed that it could stand upright on its hind legs.
I've been haunted by ghosts lately, and I'm afraid of ghosts everywhere.
But I'm not afraid of this brute.
"Brute!"
I saw a clothes measuring ruler next to me, so I grabbed it and prepared to fight.
But at this moment, the old woman's hoarse voice sounded in the room:
"Don't hit it, boy."
Hearing the old woman's voice, I stopped abruptly.
Then, I saw the old woman carrying a small cloth bag from the back room and walking out slowly.
Seeing the old woman appear, the big mouse jumped down and jumped off the table.
The old woman's feet climbed up, and she climbed directly to the old woman's shoulders.
Then use his head to rub the old woman's ears constantly.
The old woman smiled and raised her hand to touch the big mouse.
At the same time, there are some reproachful openings:
"You gluttonous one.
As I said, when there are guests, don't run out.
Not everyone knows you, you just don't listen.
If it hurts you, how can the old woman live! ”
After speaking, he grabbed the big mouse in his hand with one hand and put it in his arms.
In my eyes, I have a feeling of ruining the three views.
This big mouse turned out to be the old woman's pet.
I've seen cats, dogs, and lizards, and it's the first time I've seen a big mouse as a pet.
"Auntie, this, this is your pet?"
I was amazed.
The old woman laughed a few times:
"It's not a pet, it's my son."
"Son, son, ......"
I stammered and opened my mouth, revealing a strange look, and the whole person was unnatural.
But the old woman didn't explain much, and then said:
"Boy, everything you want is in there."
After saying that, he handed me the small cloth bag.
I took a look and found that there were more than a dozen shelled hard-boiled eggs still steaming.
Next to it is a bag of glutinous rice wrapped in a plastic bag.
When I saw that I had bought something, I was happy.
I didn't pay much attention to the big mouse raised by the old woman, who also claimed to be her son.
After all, many people who have cats and dogs claim that their pets are their "treasures" and "children", which have become commonplace outside.
It could only be that this old lady has different interests and hobbies, and likes to raise rats.
I saw that I got the thing, so I went to pay for it:
"Auntie, how much do these things cost?"
After hearing this, the old woman waved her hand:
"Young man, my supermarket doesn't charge money!"
"No, no money? Gratis? ”
I was stunned.
But the old woman shook her head again, and continued to speak with a smiling expression:
"Not free, no money. All I need is your nails ......"
