I basically didn't sleep well this night, but Dongzi slept like a dead pig.
When he woke up and saw my state, he was so frightened that he turned over and fell to the ground.
Rubbing his sore buttocks, he stood up sadly: "Rui Wazi, why are you trying to scare me? The dark circles under your eyes are so deep. Did you not sleep all night?"
I stood up from the bed dejectedly, gave Dongzi a middle finger, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up.
By the time I walked out of the bathroom, Dongzi had already packed up and was wearing a crisp suit. The makeup from last night had not been completely removed. His face was pale and he still looked particularly scary.
"We are at home now. Whatever suit you are wearing, please change it quickly. And your face, please go wash it quickly."
Dongzi looked at the suit he was wearing with a puzzled look on his face. Under my strong request, he changed it out with a confused expression. When he walked into the toilet to take a shower, he burst out screaming in a short while. Then, he stumbled out of the toilet.
"Ruiwazi, my face! What's going on? It couldn't be me yesterday..."
Looking at his panicked face, I nodded and confirmed his guess.
Dongzi's legs went weak and he sat directly on the ground, with a look of tears on his face: "Ruiwazi, I'm scared."
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here." I didn't know how to comfort him, so I could only stay by his side and said softly.
Seeing the way Dongzi's eyes were straight, I knew that he really didn't have the strength to stand up. I went to the toilet to wet the towel and briefly wiped his face.
Seeing that he still looked gloomy, I said: "By the way, the New Year is coming soon, and everything is almost ready outside. How about we go out and have a look now. Let's go."
I helped Dongzi stand up from the ground, half pulling and half dragging him out of the house.
Passing by a sesame seed cake shop, I cooked it together with him, and shouted familiarly: "Six sesame seed pancakes, and a bowl of spicy soup."
The boss responded crisply.
"Do you remember this place? Every time we went to school we would come here to have breakfast. Every time you didn't bring any money, you promised to pay me back, but until you went to work outside, I never saw a penny."
Listening to me talk about old things, a smile appeared on Dongzi's face: "I was poor at that time and everyone looked down on me. You are the only one who is willing to play with me, and I don't want to pluck you out."
During the speech, sesame cakes and spicy soup were served. With a bite of sesame cake and a bite of soup, the taste of childhood returned instantly. Everything is subject to change. As long as there is something familiar, it can take you back to the past in an instant.
"That's not right, I always feel like something is missing." When there were only two pancakes left, Dongzi and I both patted our full stomachs and said in confusion.
"Hey hey hey."
Familiar giggles came from not far away. Dongzi and I glanced at each other and looked at the place where the sound came from.
A slovenly man wearing an old blue tunic suit and gray pants was sitting on the roadside clapping his hands. When he saw Dongzi and me, he immediately walked towards us with a silly smile.
"Big baby! Big baby has grown up, hahaha!"
"Shachun, let me eat sesame cakes for you."
Shachun is a well-known poor family in our village. I heard that his mother died in childbirth just after giving birth to him. When his father went to collect firewood in the mountains, he was eaten by a wolf, and he could only grow up eating hundreds of meals.
When he was a child, he was a famous child prodigy in our village. He was famous for his photographic memory. Many people said that such a person was born in a remote village, but God seemed to think that he was not miserable enough. When Shachun was ten years old, He disappeared, and when he was found, he was lying in tatters in the ruined temple. When he woke up again, he was already stupid.
When my grandfather was alive, he often visited Shachun with food and clothes, saying that he became like this because he was trying to protect the village.
When I was a kid, for breakfast, every time I met Shachun, I would give him two sesame seed cakes.
"Shachun, let me eat sesame cakes for you."
"Hehehe, thank you two big dolls."
Shachun clapped his hands and ate sesame seed cakes. He looked at me with a smile, but when he saw Dongzi, he paused slightly.
He swallowed the sesame seed cake in his mouth with difficulty, walked to Dongzi's side, and touched Dongzi's face with his dirty hands: "The big baby is entangled by his wife, and it's getting worse."
He took out a dirty sachet from his pocket and handed it to Dongzi: "Don't be afraid, big baby. Take this with your uncle. Your uncle will protect you, but your wife is vicious and your uncle can only protect you." Once."
Dongzi held the sachet and looked at me with some confusion. It wasn't until I nodded to him that he accepted the sachet: "Thank you, Shachun."
"Hehehe, Shachun, thank you for the sesame seed cakes, bye."
Shachun waved to us and ran elsewhere while eating.
We packed a few sesame seed cakes to go and review during the day. Along the way, there was laughter and laughter everywhere. With the New Year approaching, everyone’s happy atmosphere seemed to have infected Dongzi, and the worry on his brows also receded a lot.
"The village is the most comfortable. I will work hard for two more years and then I will bring my review to the village to enjoy my old age. Then I will come to you for a drink every day."
"Okay, it will be convenient for me to take care of you when you get sick in the future."
We talked a lot about the future, and the more we talked about it, the more excited we became.
When I got back to my house, I saw Bai Tian's solemn look.
"What's wrong? You're so serious. Did something happen?"
"I will start the process tonight, and success or failure will depend on today."
In an instant, our expressions became serious.
On this day, the four of us folded a lot of gold ingots. As night gradually fell, Dongzi put on the groom's clothes that had been prepared during the day and sat among a circle of bells.
His expression was a little aggrieved: "Ruiwazi, why don't you come in and accompany me? I'm scared to be alone."
Bai Tian held a mahogany sword in his hand: "No, she will only come here if you are alone."
It was completely dark. No matter how scared he was, Dongzi, who was sitting in the circle of bells, had already begun to yawn one after another. After a while, he actually leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep.
The wind blew from nowhere, causing the bells to ring, and my left eye began to sting slightly.
Dongzi, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of red eyes staring at all of us angrily.
Bai Tian frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
Dongzi rushed towards us, but as soon as his hand touched the bell, he suddenly stepped back as if he had been burned by something, and then continued to rush forward.
After repeating it several times, Dongzi seemed to be completely irritated.
