In front of the carriage, Yang Huazhong and Xiaojie's father had a quick discussion, then turned their horses' heads and walked back.
After walking off the bridge, Mrs. Sun finally realized what she was doing. She opened the curtain in front of her and stuck her head out to take a look. She found that she was actually walking back, and she became anxious again.
He patted Xiaojie's father on the back and asked loudly: "What's going on? Aren't we going to the Taoist temple? Why are we going back?"
Xiaojie's father said without looking back: "I'll go to the Taoist temple another day. Let's go home first!"
Da Sun yelled: "What are you doing? We're at the foot of the mountain. We'll enter the Taoist temple half a mile further..."
Xiaojie's father turned to Mrs. Sun impatiently and said, "You talk a lot on this journey tonight. Can you sit back and stop talking?"
Da Sun was stunned and stared at Xiao Jie's father, "Did you eat gunpowder? Why are you scolding me?"
Xiaojie's father looked really helpless and wanted to stamp his feet, but he couldn't do it anywhere.
I just sighed in my heart, this woman used to be very clever, but after killing pigs for more than ten years, she became a tough man.
He didn't even look at how frightened his aunt was, but he continued to go to the Taoist temple. He had to pass here again when he turned back, and his aunt was scared to death!
At this time, Yang Huazhong also turned around. Compared with Xiaojie's father's impatience, Yang Huazhong seemed much calmer.
"Sister, don't blame my brother-in-law. This was all my idea. It was mainly to take care of Qing'er Niang. She is timid."
Da Sun was stunned, and only then did she react belatedly.
"If that's the case, then let's go back quickly. It's okay to come back another day." She also said to Yang Huazhong in a friendly manner.
Yang Huazhong smiled gratefully, turned around and continued to drive the carriage.
Mrs. Sun changed her vicious face again and glared at Xiaojie's father: "Did you see it? If you talk to me in such a nice manner like the third child, I'm not an unreasonable person!"
Xiaojie's father smiled bitterly. He was not unreasonable before. He did, but she didn't listen.
"For the sake of my sister and brother-in-law, I won't argue with you now. I'll settle the score with you when I get home!"
After saying these harsh words, Mrs. Sun lowered the curtain and returned to the carriage. She put her arm around Mrs. Sun's shoulders and hurriedly coaxed her sister.
Outside the curtain, Xiaojie's father smiled bitterly.
If I go back tonight, I'm afraid I'll have to explain myself a few times, and I might even have to kneel on the washboard.
Yang Huazhong freed up his hand and patted Xiaojie's father on the shoulder, giving him a comforting look.
The look in his eyes clearly said: A woman's words are just words to make her angry, there is no need to be serious with her, just go back and coax her a little more.
In response, Xiaojie's father could only continue to smile bitterly.
On the way back in the carriage, Mrs. Sun almost always huddled in Mrs. Sun's arms.
At this time, the eldest Sun was a caring big sister. She held Sun tightly in her arms with her strong and strong arms and gently patted her sister's back.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay. It's okay."
It wasn't until the carriage arrived at the courtyard door, Yu Xingkui came over holding a lantern and opened the courtyard door, and the voices outside rang out, that Ms. Sun finally regained her composure.
"Are you here?" She raised her head and asked Da Sun.
Da Sun nodded, "We've entered the yard, let's get out of the car!"
Mrs. Sun nodded and opened the curtains of the car honestly, and Yang Huazhong stretched out his hand to help her.
Mrs. Sun put her cold hand on Yang Huazhong's. It was warm and rough, which made her heart suddenly feel more at ease.
Especially after getting out of the car and seeing the familiar courtyard of her home, the lanterns hanging under the lintel of the main hall in front of her, and Yu Xingkui and others who were gathering together to talk, the familiar feeling rushed towards her, and Sun's heart instantly calmed down a lot. .
"You can soak your feet in hot water before going to bed later, wrap yourself in a quilt and have a good sleep. Nothing will happen to you when you wake up tomorrow, do you understand?"
Before leaving, Mrs. Sun told Mrs. Sun again and again, and Mrs. Sun nodded again and again.
When they got to the backyard, Xiao An came out of his house again. He rubbed his eyes and saw them coming in from the outside. He was surprised, "Dad, Mom, you guys didn't sleep in the house so late, why did you come in from the outside?" "
Mrs. Sun opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Yang Huazhong said: "We went out for a trip and something happened. You should go back to the house and sleep!"
"Why do you have to go out in the middle of the night?" Xiao An asked again.
"Hey, you kids, don't ask about adults' matters. Go back to the house and go to bed!" Yang Huazhong waved his hand impatiently and drove Xiao An back to the house like a fly. Then he supported Mrs. Sun: " Come on, let’s go back to the house.”
After soaking her feet in hot water, Sun hid in bed.
Yang Huazhong added another gourd of hot water to the water she had soaked in and then soaked her feet. She huddled under the quilt and exposed her head, looking at Yang Huazhong. Yang Huazhong had his back to her and sat on the edge of the bed. As he washed his feet, the wooden bed he had slept on for many years creaked.
Normally, Sun would find the creaking sound a bit noisy.
But at this moment, this voice made her feel extremely at ease and at ease.
"Are you feeling better now?" Yang Huazhong knew that Sun had been looking at him, so he turned to ask her.
Sun nodded: "Much better."
"Well, that's good, it's okay, it's okay." Yang Huazhong said again.
Sun Shi forced a smile, but her fear still lingered.
"Daddy, tell me, what on earth is going on tonight?" she asked again to herself.
Yang Huazhong recalled the scene at that time and said: "It was all in the dark at the time. When it ran away, it looked like a yellow skin with a big tail swinging behind it. As for what was on the front, I didn't see clearly."
"I saw its face," Sun said.
Yang Huazhong looked at Sun's face and asked in a low voice: "What kind of face is it?"
Although she didn't want to think about it anymore, Mrs. Sun still tried to think about it and said: "The face is furry and looks a bit like a dog, but the eyes are long and thin, and the mouth is curved, as if he is squinting and smiling. "
"My father wouldn't think anything of a yellow-skinned man running on the ground, but that yellow-skinned man stood up straight like a human and held a torch in his hand. This is so weird."
Yang Huazhong nodded, "It's indeed weird."
Sun asked him again: "Why does Huang Pizi want to imitate others to stand up and walk like that? Is there anything special about it?"
Yang Huazhong thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head blankly, "I have never heard of it, and I have never paid attention to that aspect."
"It's over. Don't think about it anymore. I'll wipe my feet and come over to sleep. You go to sleep first." Yang Huazhong patted Sun's quilt roll gently, his face full of consideration.
Mrs. Sun said softly, turned over and faced inward, closing her eyes.
That night, Mrs. Sun had a nightmare all night long.
In the dream, it was all about the yellow man holding a torch, smiling and making human-like movements.
The yellow-skinned man even trembled in front of her, took off his fur, and transformed into a human-like figure. He even came over and winked at her and asked her: Do you think I look human?
