1258. Back to reality! (12)

It was dusk.

Smoke was pouring out of the chimneys on the roofs of every household in Jinliu Village, and the aroma of food was wafting through the streets. At this time, there were few people on the streets of the village. Even the children who were playing in the streets had been taken back home by their parents. The dogs that were frolicking everywhere had already run back to the dining table without their owners calling them.

The brocade-like sunset glow floating in the western sky was now stained by the darkness and gradually turned dark.

An old woman with silver hair and an apron sat by a small square table. Her apron was stained white by some flour. At this time, a pair of wrinkled hands were pressing the two ends of a rolling pin and rolling it on the chopping board on the square table.

She rolled the dough into thin sheets, and then took a knife to cut the stacked sheets into finger-wide noodles. She sprinkled some flour on them, scattered the noodles, and went to the woodshed with the chopping board.

In the woodshed, several women's voices rang out: "Ah! Auntie, are these noodles prepared for Feixiong?"

"He boiled such a big bear paw today, how can he still have the mind to eat noodles?"

"Xiong Biao went to pick them up. He should have picked them up by now and should be back..."

The women's voices in the woodshed rang out for a while.

Then, Heihu's mother moved out of the woodshed sideways with a steaming, meaty basin. She placed the basin on the large square table in the yard. Her figure was submerged in the steaming water vapor. She could only vaguely see her turning her head and looking towards the aisle - just then she saw a large group of people rushing into the aisle.

The courtyard, which was not quiet to begin with, became even more lively as more than ten people rushed in.

"It smells so good!"

"Bear meat smells so good?!"

"It must be because my mother and her friends are good cooks. Have you forgotten the wild boar we hunted before? If it wasn't seasoned heavily, it would be very smelly and I couldn't eat it..."

"Grandma, mother, aunt!

We are back!"

"Brother Black Tiger and Brother Flying Bear are back too!"

The steaming water vapor met the cold wind and turned into water droplets that clung to the large wooden basin held by Black Tiger's mother. The red meat in the large wooden basin was cut into slices and soaked in a dark red sauce, sprinkled with some green chopped green onions, which looked very appetizing. Heihu's mother saw a group of people rushing out of the corridor. Among them, she saw Li Heihu at a glance. Her face was immediately filled with a happy smile. She turned to look at the wood room, wanting to call out the aunt who was cooking noodles in the wood room. When she turned her head, she didn't know when her aunt was standing at the door of the wood room. The old woman with silver hair was holding the door with one hand, standing on tiptoe, looking up at the large group of people. The candlelight outside the wood door flickered slightly, and it seemed that a dim light fell into her eyes. The smoke rolled behind her, and the rolling smoke made her figure hazy. Su Wu turned his head and saw her figure. He suddenly felt that grandma was very far away from him, but also seemed very close. "Grandma." He tried to call out to the old figure. The old woman pursed her lips and responded softly: "Hey..."

Then all the unreal feelings fell back to the ground and became solid.

Grandma reached out and wiped her eyes. She held the wall and walked towards Su Wu tremblingly. Su Wu stepped forward to meet her and held her body. She raised one hand and pointed at Su Wu's head, then turned to look at the rammed earth wall of the firewood room next to her. On the yellow earth wall mixed with straw, there were some horizontal lines left by charcoal ash.

She looked at the horizontal lines, as if she was looking at the stairs going up one by one.

When she saw that the highest horizontal line was much shorter than Su Wu's body, Grandma showed a satisfied smile on her face: "It's much taller than I thought. My piglet is already such a tall boy. Grandma doesn't have to worry about you outside. Others dare to bully you..."

"How could anyone bully me?

Grandma, don't worry." Su Wu replied with a smile.

Grandma shook her head, took his hand, and led him to sit at the table. Her face was full of smiles: "You sit down first, there are noodles in the pot. When grandma finishes cooking, we will have dinner."

"Okay. I'll help you, grandma." Su Wu nodded and was about to stand up.

But grandma held him down with her hand, smiling and said: "Just sit here and wait, and talk to your aunt, uncle, and your brothers and sisters!"

Grandma stood up and looked at Li Heihu, Hong Renkun, Xiaohe Girl and others. She first greeted Hong Renkun and Xiaohe Girl and asked them to sit down. Then she exchanged a few words with Li Heihu, and finally, surrounded by Su Wu's two aunts, she returned to the woodshed.

Not long after, grandma brought Su Wu another bowl of knife-cut noodles. Everyone sat down as host and guest, and the dinner began lively.

At the dinner table, grandma often asked Su Wu what kind of work he did outside. She was relieved when she learned that Su Wu's work outside was quite decent and he would not suffer hardships.

The two talked a lot, but they were very tacit. They never mentioned how long Su Wu would stay at home or when he would leave for home.

After dinner, the two uncles Xiong Xiong and Xiong Biao led their families and other young people to leave Su Wu's home.

Grandma settled the rooms for the two guests, Miss Xiaohe and Hong Renkun, and then took the oil lamp and led Su Wu to the main room. Hehe also followed them.

There used to be a small bed on the west side of the main room.

The former 'Pig' was sleeping on that bed.

Now the small bed has been moved to Hehe's room, and grandma asked someone to build a big kang in its original position.

The bedding on the bed is neat and tidy, and the satin surface of the bedding is embroidered with beautiful flowers and patterns. It has a clean smell of soap and soap. Grandma squatted on the stove next to the bed with the oil lamp, and looked at the furnishings in the main room with the light. She looked at the bedding on the bed, with a kind smile in her eyes: "Grandma still left several A good quilt, a good mattress top, and the flowers on it are very beautiful. When you get married, take out a few pairs of quilt tops and make two wedding quilts for you and your wife...

There is also something left for Hehe, so Hehe doesn’t have to fight..."

"I'm not fighting. Give it all to brother. I'll stay with grandma from now on." Li Linghe shook grandma's arm and acted coquettishly.

Grandma patted her shoulder, smiled, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "When you reach the age, if grandma doesn't marry you off and forces you to stay at home...then grandma won't let anyone poke her in the back. ?

When children grow up, they always have to fly far away..."

She turned to look at Su Wu who was standing next to her, patted the bed, and said to Su Wu: "Zhuzi, come and sit. We will light the charcoal fire later, and the kang will be hot very quickly, and it won't be cold at all."

Su Wu responded and sat next to grandma. He wanted to say something, but grandma asked him first: "Zhuzi, how many days will you stay home this time?"

"I will stay at home for a few more days, and then go out in about three to five days." Su Wu said to her grandma as she met her grandma's gaze and suddenly changed her previous plan of staying one night and leaving.

When grandma heard his reply, a smile suddenly broke out on her face. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, stay a few more days. It won't delay your work outside. It shouldn't be delayed. When you come, You should have made an agreement with your shopkeeper - I haven't been home for several years. If I come back now, what can he say if I stay a few more days?

He is a reasonable person and won’t say much! "

"No one will say anything, just don't worry, grandma."

“That’s good, that’s good.

There is a charcoal fire in the corner. Zhuzi, you can light the kang yourself. You have been busy all day today and you are tired. You should rest early. Hehe, let’s go back to bed with grandma. "

Grandma pulled Linghe out of the main room.

Su Wu stood up from the bed and looked at the furnishings in the room.

The furnishings have not changed much from a few years ago.

He walked to the wall facing the door. On that wall hung a large painting of "Songs and Cranes Extend the Year". A square table was placed in front of the scroll.

The tablet of "Li Wenjuan, the birth mother of pigs" is placed on the square table. Her ashes have been allowed to be buried in the Li family's ancestral grave. In the incense burner in front of the tablet, there are incense sticks with red flames flashing.

In the incense burner, the ashes have accumulated to the top.

Grandma never stopped sacrificing her beloved daughter.

This thick incense ash also represents a kind of longing that cannot be expressed through words, nor can it be weakened by words.

Su Wu held up a stick of incense from the side and bowed respectfully three times to the memorial tablet. He lit the incense stick and put it into the incense burner. Green smoke curled up in the darkness, as if he was going to the unknown world. , connect to the unnamed location.

…

For several days after that, Su Wu stayed in Jinliu Village, visiting relatives and friends, and also looking at Liu Feiyan's former residence.

When she left the village, she had sold her family's land and house. Now the Liu family's house was already owned by a family named Sun. When Su Wu chatted with that family, she also heard some difficult things from their mouths. Distinguish true and false rumors.

The host of the Sun family said: "A few days ago, several trees died in my field, so I cut them down and dragged them home to prepare some benches. When I was working at home that day, I saw something A red figure appeared in the yard - dressed in red, it almost scared me to the point of losing my breath!

It was floating all over the house and courtyard, turning around in a circle, and then disappeared!

I saw that the figure was thin and looked like a woman.

Maybe it's Liu Feiyan from before? "

"Could it be that the daughter of the Liu family met with something bad outside and died? If so, then the figure I saw a few days ago might be the soul of Liu Feiyan..."

Today, Liu Feiyan does often appear in front of people in a phoenix crown, but Su Wu has no trace of whether she has ever returned to Jinliu Village.

…

"This simulation is over..."

Su Wu, who was standing at the embankment, waved goodbye to her grandma at the foot of the gentle slope.

The old simulator prompt sounded in his ears. The moment the prompt sounded, everything around him gradually became dim. The scenery on the embankment and the figures of relatives and friends under the gentle slope gradually faded, and finally everything was swallowed up by darkness.

Su Wu was already in the simulator realm where a huge dial was hovering.

Beside him, Hong Renkun stood there lifelessly with the red sun above his head, temporarily losing consciousness.

Su Wu raised his eyes and glanced at the huge dial hanging between heaven and earth. The various exchangeable items listed on the dial, as well as the relics appearing in time and space around him, had not changed.

The simulator prompts in my ears kept ringing.

In this simulation, he also did a lot of things.

However, in the judgment of the simulator, these things rarely brought him the benefit of "real gold on this shore", nor could they improve his evaluation. In the end, he only got one hundred taels of real gold on this shore, and there was no evaluation at all.

"Your wallet balance is 8730+100=8830 real gold from both sides of the Taiwan Strait!"

The simulator prompt sounds suddenly.

Su Wu's thoughts changed, and the darkness that covered everything suddenly dispersed.

He was in a dilapidated car with the left and right front doors removed and the engine running. Hong Renkun appeared in the passenger seat of the car.

The red light spot like a chicken egg on Hong Renkun's head slowly 'melted' and flowed on the back seat of the car, turning into Tao Zu, who was sitting carefree on the back seat of the car.

Tao Zu was dressed in sinewy flesh, and his white hair was tied into a bun on the top of his head. He pressed his hands on the backrest of the rear seat, crossed his legs, and said with emotion: "I'm finally back. There's nothing interesting about this place, but I've been delayed for so long!"

As he spoke, he took out a pair of dark items from the storage box on the car door without stopping his hands.

"Glasses?!"

Tao Zu seemed to recognize this object, opened it, and placed it on his ears.

Tao Zu, with his hair tied in a bun, shirtless, and a pair of snow-white trousers, seemed to have changed his temperament when he put on these sunglasses. He was already quite eye-catching, but now he became even more eye-catching. It even makes people feel that he has a "profound and vicissitudes of life" feeling. Even Hong Renkun couldn't move his eyes away when he saw Tao Zu's appearance in the rearview mirror.

Hong Renkun pulled Su Wu, who was starting the car next to him, and said repeatedly: "Is there more? Is there more?!"

"What?"

Su Wu glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Tao Zu wearing sunglasses with his head held high. He immediately understood and nodded: "It's a big place here and there are many optical shops, so you should be able to find it.

Don't be impatient, I'll take you everywhere to look for it. "

"Okay, okay!"

Hong Renkun was overjoyed when he heard this.

Su Wu drove the car a few streets away and soon found an optical shop.

There are clothing stores everywhere around the optical shop, and there are also maternal and child supplies stores, toy stores, etc. at the corner intersection. Su Wu led Tao Zu and the others to unload the door of the optical shop and asked the two to help open the doors of the optical shop. Several rotten corpses recited the rebirth mantra several times, and then danced around with a few pairs of sunglasses in the store. Then, the two of them went around to change clothes and each picked out their own clothes - except for the pair of glasses, Tao Zu , Hong Renkun’s way of choosing clothes is really unflattering.

Su Wu took off all the women's clothes and underwear they were wearing, and the two of them looked a little more pleasing to the eye.

The two ended up in a toy store.

Once he got in, he didn't come out for a long time.
