Chapter 2 Preparing to Go
Ah Li followed closely behind his father, he didn't dare to speak, he didn't even dare to come out, he was now very afraid of his father's angry appearance, a while away, Ah Li felt like he had walked for a long time, and returned to his home, Ah Li's mother had already cooked the meal, Ah Li's mother was a person who was not good at talking, and he was silently doing all kinds of things for this family, no matter how big or small, he had to do it himself.
"Why did you come back so late, it's getting dark." The father is still silent, but Ah Li is very excited to talk about the horse team in the town today, in front of his mother, Ah Li can let go, his mother is not as strict as his father, so he dares to say anything to his mother, and his mother's face is also uncertain after listening, sometimes melancholy, sometimes a little angry, and finally sighed and said to Ah Li's father, "What should come will come." ”
The father looked at the mother, nodded slightly, and walked out of the room. "Where are you going?" asked the mother eagerly, putting down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Don't worry, I just want to go out for a walk" Only Ah Li and his mother were left in the room, Ah Li was now confused by these words, he looked at his mother, and his mother was just eating by herself, and did not look into Ah Li's eyes. Ah Li didn't dare to ask any more, and went back to his room after eating. “
What's going on, what's going on" Ah Li was puzzled in his room, Xiaosheng faintly felt that his father and mother had a lot of unknown things behind their backs, but Xiaosheng couldn't guess how to guess, today's horse team, his father's anger, and there was no conversation between his parents, these things blended together to make Xiaosheng feel restless and at a loss, and slowly thought about it, Xiaosheng fell asleep.
The next day, Ah Li was woken up by a burst of screams, and Ah Li rubbed his eyes to see that it was his father.
"Dad, I'll get up and chop wood now", Ah Li felt nervous in his heart, he thought that his father would blame him for not chopping wood. The father glanced at him with pity, just that look, and then said in a still indifferent tone, "Hurry up and get up, tomorrow morning you will go on a long trip to Yangzhou to buy some New Year's goods."
Yes...... In exchange for an exclamation, his father glanced at Ah Li, "If you don't want to go, don't go." How could Ah Li not want to go, without saying a word, he changed his clothes and hurriedly ran out, and on the way, he accidentally hit the dishes at home to the ground in exchange for a scolding from his father.
"I can't hold my breath when I encounter a little thing, and I don't know if I should let you go" The father scolded Ah Li while cleaning up the things underground, and Xiaosheng had to pull over a bench and sit on it and continue to listen to his father's words.
"This time I didn't go to the mountains and rivers, so I took this list and bought all the New Year's goods on it. As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Ah Li, how could he let himself do these things this time when his parents did them? Xiaosheng didn't pay attention to it, why not go out to play?" "This time, you are not the only one to go, Ye Zi, Jing Mu, Tian Kan, will go with you." Ah Li's mouth opened wide, and his eyes looked straight at his father. His father looked at him and said, "If you don't have any interest, don't hurry up and go to work." Ah Li was still stunned, and his father slammed
Xiang Ah Li slapped him on the head and said sharply, "If you don't go, you won't go anywhere." Ah Li covered his head and hurriedly went out. He took his axe and rushed to the mountain, he wanted to share this matter with Yezi, maybe Yezi didn't know yet, just he could give her a surprise, thinking of this, Ah Li's pace sped up a lot, when he arrived at the place where he often chopped wood, he found that Ye Zi was already standing there, Ye Zi saw Ah Li, hurriedly beckoned to Ah Li, Ah Li was excited to talk when he came to her, only to see Ye Zi take out a thing and put it in front of Ah Li's eyes.
"Ah, how could this be this". On Ye Zi's hand was the round thing with a yin and yang pattern, Ah Li held it in his hand and touched it, and when he touched the combination of yin and yang patterns, he suddenly felt like a fire.
"Ahhhh
"Ah Li, what should I do, why don't we throw this thing away" Ah Li looked at the thing lying quietly in the distance, and thought about his father's expression when he looked at the horse team, he felt that this thing seemed to hide some secret, "Yezi, let's bury it here first."
"But, Ah Li...... Could it be the hoodoo that others say?" In this town, there is often a rumor of hoodoos, and the town often says that some things that they don't know are sometimes said to be hoodoos or treasures based on their own experience, and then they are passed on to the hundreds, and these things have the ability to shake the world. It's no wonder that the leaves say that.
Ah Li could only comfort her that this would not be an evil thing, and they would not have any good or bad luck to get these things. Seeing that Ye Zi nodded in agreement, they walked towards this thing step by step, and when Ah Li gritted his teeth and was about to pick up this thing, Ye Zi grabbed him, and then quickly picked up this thing.
"Leaves, what do you do". Ah Li went to get the piece from her hand as he spoke, he didn't want the leaf to be as painful as he had just been. But when she held it in her hand, Ye Zi said to Ah Li that she didn't feel anything. Ah Li and Ye Zi stood there in a daze, puzzled, and finally heard the laughter of others walking towards them, and the two of them reacted and hurriedly buried the thing. The footsteps also slowly approached, and when they saw the comer, Ah Li and Ye Zi ran over happily.
The two men were also shocked when they saw them, and then they burst out laughing, and one of them said, "Oh, isn't it the two of us who have ruined your good deeds, haha."
After hearing this, Ye Zi and Ah Li's faces immediately turned red, and then Ah Li slapped the man on the back and scolded, "Tian Kan, you will talk nonsense every day." The young man next to him only smiled slightly. The person who came was none other than the two Tian Kan and Jing Mu who went with Ah Li, both of them and Ah Li Yezi have been playing since childhood, needless to say, Tian Kan's personality is more Jing Mu and they are outgoing, as small as stealing food, and as big as liking any girl in the village, he will tell Ah Li Jingmu them. Jing Mu is more introverted, they rarely hear Jing Mu take the initiative to talk to them, and even his parents rarely hear Jing Mu communicate with them, but Jing Mu's heart is diametrically opposed to his character, he will help his friends if he can help. This is also the reason why the introverted Jing Mu can play with Ah Li.
"Ah Li, I'm not happy to be able to go to Yangzhou with Ye Zi, that oops, Ye Zi, what are you doing beating me. Before Tian Kan finished speaking, he was pinched by Ye Zi's face, and the surrounding Ah Li Jingmu couldn't help but smile when he looked at Tian Kan's appearance, and finally Ye Zi let go of his hand in Tian Kan's continuous begging for mercy.
Tian Kan rubbed his face and asked us, "What do you want to do most when you go to Yangzhou?" Before everyone could speak, Tian Kan said, "I want to say mine, I want to eat Yangzhou's most famous sugar gourd and glutinous rice cake."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zibian interrupted him and said, "Stop, you know how to eat, what about you?" Ye Zi looked at him after speaking, Ah Li didn't expect Ye Zi to ask him, and said hesitantly, "Just where are you going?"
After saying this, Ye Zi's face immediately turned red, and Ah Li's face was also hot, at this time, Tian Kan was afraid of being beaten by Ye Zi and could only hide aside and smile secretly, in order to alleviate the embarrassment at this time, Ah Li turned his head and asked Jing Mu, Jing Mudao shook his head and said, "I don't know." Tian Kan, who was on the side, patted Jing Mu's shoulder and said, "Jing Mu, you are not young, I want to teach you, life in the world is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun...... That's it. Tian Kan said as he walked down the mountain with Jing Mu's shoulder, and at this time he heard Jing Mu say: "We don't have to wait for Ye Zi and Ah to leave when we go like this?" Tian Kan said: "Fool, don't you understand giving them space?" "Oh, this is space." "I don't understand, right, I'll explain it to you." Looking at their backs slowly disappearing in front of them, Ah Li Ye looked at each other, they looked at each other and smiled, no one spoke, only the sunlight cast a speckled shadow on their backs on the ground.
