Chapter Eighty-Nine
Time back eleven after dinner.
The Great Elder's Old Family, which was relatively close to the guardian side, was of course the easiest to hear the sound of firecrackers on the other side. But the sound is always too far away, and it may be difficult for most people with poor ear skills to distinguish the faint sound. At first, Li Donghao didn't notice it, just watched Eleven walk out of the courtyard alone, sit on the threshold and look at the other side of the river.
"Brother Eleven, Brother Eleven! Listen, is it the sound of firecrackers? Li Donghao, who was still in the ignorance period, stood behind Eleven and looked at the back that he couldn't understand, very puzzled. But when he noticed the faint sound of firecrackers and the bright lights on the other side, he finally remembered his dream for as long as he could remember - in the future, he would run into the street and set off firecrackers like a child on the other side of the river. So when he thought of the firecrackers being set off on the other side again, he jumped excitedly and went straight to Eleven's back.
"You come down for me!" But then another voice came from behind, it was Li Dongxue. She grabbed Li Donghao, and with a stern expression, she was about to reproach Li Donghao for not lying on Eleven's wound.
Eleven looked back at the sisters and brothers, smiled softly at them, and pulled Li Donghao to sit beside him. Then he smiled at Li Dongxue and said, "It's okay."
Probably because he is an orphan, he doesn't like the excitement of the festival after he is sensible, and he is always used to surviving the moment when his family should be reunited alone. But he hoped for it, and he had imagined every place to stop, so since the sister and brother were here, Eleven wanted to try again. Even if you can't become a family, trying to have a younger brother or sister today may be the attitude you should have to face life positively.
"Brother Eleven, are the people on the other side setting off firecrackers? Have you ever played with firecrackers? In the face of the unique innocence of children, Eleven can't imagine a childhood without firecrackers, and he has to watch and listen to what it's like to be released from afar.
"I played with it when I was a kid." Eleven doesn't really want to recall the scene of the past New Year at the moment.,Although I can always go out with my friends to trick or shoot.,But most of the endings are not good.。。。。
"Did you really play? What do firecrackers look like? Anything else? Can I have fun? ”
Eleven found himself slipping out of his mouth, and for most people, he shouldn't have taken the initiative to bring up the fact that he was from another world. So I thought about it and said, "Yes, do you want to try it?" "When I was a child, Eleven was in charge of lighting a fire in the cafeteria, and once I was too lazy to step on the bamboo and put it in the stove, and I almost didn't fry the pot. Although he was severely punished that time, it also made him remember a knowledge point when reading a book. The name of the firecracker was actually derived from the burning of the bamboo a long time ago.
"Mmmmmmmm
In fact, on the guard side, except for the Chinese New Year's Eve before the Spring Festival, the New Year in previous years was quite lively, people would visit the New Year that night and the next day, and those who lived close would usually get together to eat and chat until the time of the child. "Keeping the New Year" is also an important custom here! So after eating, a large family was bored, and at this moment, they were attracted by the three people at the door and came over one after another.
Next, Eleven took a bundle of firewood from the kitchen and took it to the courtyard door to light it. Then he took out a long stick from the ring and threw it into the fire, and then looked at the family around with a mysterious grin, and said that the next sentence was the moment to witness the miracle.
A minute later, just as everyone's curious expressions turned more into doubt
"Bang~!"
There was a loud bang, and the fire exploded in front of everyone, so loud that almost everyone on the guard side heard it, and they were all startled at the same time. Most of the men ran out to check on the situation, while the women angrily cleaned up the dishes that had just been broken in shock. Even Li Zhiyan got down from the elder's chair because of this loud noise, and later ran to the back of the hall to drink.
As for the power ...
Fortunately, Eleven had already let everyone retreat far enough, and they all hid behind the courtyard gate, just like when they were children, they hurriedly ran behind the cover and waited for that moment with anticipation. Although this was indeed too cautious when he was a child, this time Eleven was extremely glad that he made a big fuss, otherwise he would not have been able to close the door quickly even if he had three heads and six arms.
At the moment of the explosion, almost everyone present was stunned, and after the explosion, it was even more blind, the dust was accompanied by strong winds in all directions, and what was even more uncomfortable was the ringing in the ears and the suspended beating heart. In addition to the eleven busy work, there was another person who could barely see the whole process of the matter, and that was Li Qiuye, who had been officially cultivating for more than three months.
At the moment of the explosion, although she was still standing still and suffering the same as everyone else, she saw it. The explosion almost sounded at the same time, and I didn't know that the picture in front of me suddenly became Eleven behind the door panel that should have been opened, and then the fire rushed into the sky, sparks flew everywhere, and Eleven disappeared, judging from the sparks that disappeared one after another, it should have disappeared, Eleven was telling the movement to stop the splashing of the sparks, and the movement of the telling drove the wind to blow up the dust to form a strong wind, making the scene even more messy.
Finally, the strong wind stopped after more than ten seconds, and after the firelight and smoke, Li Siju's family slowly woke up and slowly shifted their gaze. The walls of the courtyard all collapsed, and the only remaining gate creaked under the pressure of everyone's puzzled gaze. The courtyard is surrounded by tiny sparks that flicker and flicker, and it seems that they will be extinguished immediately and will not cause a fire. In the end, the dust settled, and the original fire was now only a dark mark, and Eleven was standing there at this moment, wrapped in a thin layer of ash, although his body was much better than before, but it still reminded everyone of him at the beginning. What is even more obvious is that his two neat rows of white teeth are like the moon in the night, because he is smiling awkwardly...
"Hey~hey~... Eleven really didn't know what to say, and planned to giggle and fool around. Especially the age of Li Siju is there, how can he also be an elder, and they have always treated each other with respect and inferiority. So looking at the complicated and obviously still physical "brain buzzing" 'almost father-in-law' Eleven is like a child who has made a mistake, a little cowardly.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Great Elder, I didn't expect the power to be a little too much." Eleven was really a little weak-hearted, so he opened his mouth again to admit his mistake, and while pretending to slap him with ashes, he held his hand and used his sensing ability to sense it, and only after finding that it was okay, he was relieved. Then I continued to "shoot ashes" from childhood to adulthood.
"Wow~Wow~Wow~", this is Aunt Hua next door who is still holding the second girl crying in her arms, and she cautiously ran over to check the situation. After seeing the situation in the yard and confirming that there was no danger, he habitually spoke: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong? "It seems that he is not lightly frightened.
。。。。。。。
After Eleven finished explaining awkwardly, all the neighbors around him ran over and surrounded the yard. There are also Captain Tiger and Li Dongxi, who are fast practitioners...
"Firecrackers, so scary?" Li Haotian still maintained the posture of protecting the nearest eldest daughter Li Qiuye, and asked tremblingly. Eleven realized that the family had finally recovered, but the next apology must be indispensable.
"What? Firecracker? "Captain Tiger who came was a little shocked when he heard that it was firecrackers, he had seen firecrackers on the other side of the river eleven years ago, and he had the impression that it was not a weapon of great destruction, how to look at the formation in this courtyard was like the boiler explosion in the smelter before.
Slowly, there were more and more people, and people began to babble and explain what had happened to the people who had just arrived, and slowly there was no longer any need for Eleven to continue to apologize. Although it was an accident, it was finally lively on this night that should have been lively. In the end, some people really began to pay New Year's greetings to the great elder Li Siji, and then more people began to pay New Year's greetings, and the picture finally had the lively scene that Chinese New Year's Eve should have.
But just as people began to withdraw from the Great Elder's house one after another, preparing to go home to celebrate the New Year, a little boy's excited and crisp voice sounded beside Eleven: "Brother Eleven, Brother Eleven, look, I found firecrackers, firecrackers!" ”
The scene suddenly fell silent again, and everyone turned their eyes, and several people who were close to the center of the explosion before were now looking at Li Donghao in fear. To be precise, he looked at Li Donghao holding the emerald green wooden stick in his hand at the moment, and Li Donghao didn't know when he had already regained his excitement, and he only had the stick in his hand and the eleven in front of him. I just looked at him expectantly.
Eleven didn't know what to do, his mind was a little messy, and when he came back to his senses, he found that it was already noisy. The result was beyond Eleven's expectations, not only Li Donghao, but also the four parties at the scene: Li Siju, Li Haotian, Li Qiuye, and Li Dongxue. Everyone wanted to see the power of the firecrackers just now, especially those young people who had been envious of the firecrackers on the other side of the river, and even made a plan to set the final place for the firecrackers in the square in front of the altar statue.
Later, it was strange that although the power of this small and hard bamboo still caused fire to splash and the sound was earth-shattering, the power was less than half of the previous one, except for the one in the eleventh experiment at the beginning. Coupled with Eleven's reminder, the later firecrackers did not hurt anyone. On the contrary, because Eleven prepared these bamboos to build a small house, and the bamboo was sufficient, so he really regarded this bamboo as a firecracker, and it should not be a big problem to hold on until dawn.
"Hey! Don't use a basin! Dangerous! Honestly take the torch and go to the flat ground to make a fire! Eleven saw that there was a "big smart" holding a brazier to save trouble and take it as a "launch pad", and the cold sweat came out, so he quickly stopped it. Fortunately, a trustworthy little warrior took the initiative to take the responsibility of overseer, so that Eleven could finally deal with everyone's drinking with confidence.
The sound of firecrackers made the increasingly excited guards gather around the fire, and the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil project was turned into a collective activity for the first time in the form of a bonfire party. Eleven saw a few grateful glances at him, and there was kindness in those eyes that he had rarely seen before, and it made him feel comfortable.
At this moment, beside the joyful fire, the guards seem to have finally forgotten the arrival of this year's Spring Festival.
And after thousands of bowls of wine, Eleven was finally drunk. Feeling that Drunken Eleven's eyes were brighter, he laughed happily and drank more and more.
Eleven and Captain Tiger were bragging and drinking, and at the same time, he watched people hold a party around the fire in the statue square, while lining up to play with firecrackers, Eleven wanted to stay here forever, especially when the firecrackers exploded the beautiful scene in the sky, he felt that this simplicity was very compatible with himself.
