Chapter 7 two

The next day, the third day, several days passed, Fang Decheng and the others no longer mentioned the ball, but I was thinking about it. What I was thinking about was not the ball, but the grass, the pile of things in the grass.I really wanted to tell Mom or Song Ma, but the words got out of my mouth and I took them back. I finished my homework very quickly today. The addition of two-digit numbers is really difficult. I have to carry and add points. I only have ten fingers, and I am too busy to add.The arithmetic is too hard, so I have to recite "Let's Go to the Sea". I think, lying on the white sailboat in the sea, I will be blinded by the sun, and the boat is shaking on the water. will fall asleep.Let's go to see the sea, let's go to see the sea, I recited like this when I packed my pencil case; I hung my schoolbag on the rail of the bed, and recited like this;

Dad and Mom are in the yard, Mom is holding the little sister, and Dad is cutting flowers and grass; he said that the oleander has too many leaves, and the flowers will bloom less, and some leaves should be removed; he tied the branches with string, and the few An oleander tree is not so scattered.He also tied thin ropes to the morning glory by the wall, and nailed them to the high part of the wall. The morning sun shone on the wall, and the morning glory was in full bloom, but it was not morning, and several morning glory had already withered. up. Mom said to Dad: Bring the lock back, the thieves are making a scene, even on Xinhua Street!

Dad was concentrating on cutting flowers and plants, with his nostrils one by one, he said casually: Xinhua Street, it's still far from here!Then look up and see me: isn't it?Yingzi! I nodded, and the empty grass flashed before my eyes. The little sister broke away from her mother at this time, she just liked me to lead her when she could walk.I took her with dancing steps, the little sister was so happy!Giggling, I chanted "Let's Go to the Sea" again, and after chanting a sentence, I danced a step, and jumped to the door like this.Song's mother had just finished eating, and she was picking her teeth with her white fungus pick. Every time she picked her teeth, she sucked in her breath, and it took a lot of effort to pick her teeth; it seemed that her teeth were very important!The little sister hugged her legs, and she wiped the ear picks on her body, and inserted them into her bun.

Song Ma picked up her little sister and walked out of the street. She said to her sister: Let's go shopping!Let's go shopping!Song's mother was very addicted to shopping on the street. After she came back, she told her many new things; Song Ma left, but my little sister was still waving to me. It was still dark, but the sun was gone, and there was only a glimmer of light on the corner of the empty house opposite.Looking at it again, there was still a piece of sun shining brightly on the empty grass next to it, and the grass was gently moved by the wind. I was stunned and couldn't help walking towards it.In front of the door next door to my house, a picker for buying junk stopped, but no one was there, probably he went to someone’s house to buy junk!At this time, there was no one in the open space in front of the door.

I walked towards the empty grass, and while stepping over the broken wall, I thought to myself, if Mama Song or someone saw me coming here, I would say, I was looking for the ball, so it was! I didn't concentrate on looking for the ball, but I also hoped to see it. My steps were towards the mysterious corner.I held my breath, moved the tall grass, and stepped forward lightly, for fear of stepping on something again. Can those things still be here?Why didn't I dare to take a closer look that day, and immediately turned around and backed out?Now if these things are still here, what should I do?Of course there is no way, I just want to take a look, because I like weird things.

But when I pushed aside the grass, I took a deep breath and cried out in surprise: oh! There is a man squatting on the grass!He also turned around in shock and let out a cry.He stared at me for a while, then he smiled: Girl, what are you doing here too? Me, I couldn't answer, I was taken aback for a while, and finally figured it out: I'm here to find the ball. ball?is it this one?As he spoke, he took out a ball from the pile of things behind him, and it was indeed the one Liu Ping and the others threw.I nodded, took the ball and turned to leave, but he stopped me: Well, little girl, you stop, let's talk.

He was wearing short pants and a jacket, with a bald head and thick eyebrows. His thick lips reminded me of what Uncle Li, who knew physiognomy, said: thick lips are an honest person.I was a little scared at first, but it's much better when I think of this sentence.His voice seemed to be trembling a little, and he refused to stand up, but I knew there was a pile of things behind him, maybe it was the copper tea tray from that day or something.He said: How old are you, little girl?Have you read yet? Seven years old, in the first grade of Changdian Primary School.I am often asked the same thing, so I can answer it right away.

drink!That is a good school.Who picks you up and takes you to school? Myself.After answering, I thought of my father, so I said again: Dad said that children should develop self-reliance early on. Now, do you know that the city wall of Xinhua Street has been opened, called Xinghua Gate, so I don’t have to go around Shunzhi Gate! The little girl can talk, the tutor is good, he can't stop nodding.Your father is right, children should learn to be themselves early, um, take care of their own abilities, alas!He suddenly lowered his head and let out a long sigh, looked up at me again, and asked me with a smile: What do you think I am here for?

You, I can't guess, I shook my head, but suddenly remembered: Are you here to shit? shit?He opened his eyes wide, yes, yes, I'm from Chu Gong! Don't talk about hygiene! We passers-by are not hygienic. I lowered my head and squinted at his back again. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment of stupefaction, he took out a handful of glass balls from the pocket of his jacket. They were all round and bright soda balls: Here, these are for you. I do not want!This kind of thing can't break my mind at all.Dad said, don't take other people's things casually.

I gave it to you!He still tried to squeeze it into my hand, but I tried to open my palm and didn't punch it. The ball couldn't land in my hand, so it fell on the grass.I said again: You can't just take what others give you. The child!He also looked helpless, and then he asked me: Does your family know that you are here? I shake my head. You go back, do you want to tell your family members that they saw me? I still shake my head. Well, please don't tell anyone that you saw me!I am also a good person. Who said he was a bad guy?He looks so strange!I guess he didn't come to shit, that pile of stuff has something to do with him.

Let's go back!It's getting dark!He pointed to the sky, and the crow flew past. how about you?I asked him. I'm going too, you go first.He brushed off the broken grass that fell from his body, as if he was about to stand up, and then said, "Don't tell me, little girl, you are still young and don't understand things. I will talk to you slowly in the morning. There are many stories." ! tell a story? yes!I come here often, I think you are a kind-hearted little girl, let's make moral friends, I will tell you stories about my brother and me. when?When it comes to storytelling, I like it the most. When we meet, let's chat. I am alone, and I am bored. I don't quite understand what he said, but I think such a big friend can make friends. I don't know if he is a good person or a bad person. I can't tell the difference, just like I can't tell the sea from the sky, but he The lips are thick and thick. I turned around and poked the tall grass outwards, then turned around and asked him: Are you coming tomorrow? tomorrow?uncertain. He was spreading out a bundle to pack some things. It was very dark under the grass and he couldn't see clearly, but he could hear the sound of clanging. It must be that the copper plate hit the soda ball that fell on the ground.Are those his things? I walked out of the broken brick wall, and there was still no one in the area in front of me, but from a distance I saw Mother Song leading the little sister back, so I ran to the house quickly, passing by the neighbor's house, and saw that the tattered pick was still swinging. over there. Song's mother and I arrived at the door at the same time, so we took the little sister's hand and walked all the way into the house. At this time, the electric light in the yard was on, and there were several scorpions crawling on the wall next to the electric light, and flying around the electric light. Lots of bugs.The coffee table is already placed by the flower pond, and there must be a pot of fragrant tea and a pack of powdered cigarettes on it. Dad will lie on the rattan chair for a long time, and talk to his mother about this and that. Maybe Uncle Li will come. I put the ball on the coffee table, picked up the powder pack and opened it, and took out the foreign painting inside. My father smiled and asked me: Are all the foreign paintings on the Fengshen List preserved? how could!That Jiang Ziya will never exist.I have three of the three-eyed Yang Jian! Dad touched my head with a smile and said to my mother: This kid also knows about Jiang Ziya and Yang Jian! I don't know what kind of mood, suddenly asked my father: Dad, what is a thief! thief?Dad looked at me strangely.Those who steal from others are called thieves. What does a thief look like? What a human being!One nose and two eyes.Mom replied, she also looked at me strangely: Why do you ask this? Just ask! As I said, I took a small bench and put it under my mother's feet. Before I could sit down, Uncle Li came in, so my mother chased me away: Go, play with your little sister in the house, don't interrupt here.
