When he suddenly entered the room, he was held down and beaten by Zhao Liu'er. Yang Yongzhi really didn't react.
But he will never be like other rough men who push his wife aside indiscriminately or even yell at her.
Yang Yongzhi would never do that. Not only did he not do that, on the contrary, he stood still and let his wife's fist hit his back.
This continued until his wife stopped smashing her and her mood gradually calmed down. Only then did he turn around, hold Zhao Liu'er's still trembling shoulders with both hands, and ask softly: "What's wrong Liu'er? If you have something to say, please speak slowly. Don't worry." It hurt my hand."
Only then did Zhao Liuer truly come back to her senses. She threw herself into Yang Yongzhi's arms, trembling, and told him everything that had happened before.
"... Damn you, where on earth have you gone!" After saying everything, she couldn't help but hit him a few more times.
Yang Yongzhi felt very guilty and explained: "I went to get the urine bucket from the patio of the main room, but I searched around and couldn't find it. Then I remembered that I took it to the backyard toilet to empty it during the day, and I never brought it back after I finished it."
"So I quietly went to the backyard again, and sure enough I found a urine bucket near the toilet. I also fetched some more water from the ditch next to it, brushed the grass a few times, and then walked back. .”
"I thought it was just a matter of time, but I suddenly felt a stomachache when I passed near the toilet."
"I just went into the toilet, relieved myself, and came back when I was done."
The two people compared the events and time at that time, and then discovered that there was a time difference between them.
To use an idiom, it’s called a combination of circumstances!
"However, I clearly heard the front door of the main room being pushed open with a creak. I thought it was you coming back, but the door didn't even move, which scared me!"
Zhao Liu'er said again, her voice still trembling, and she didn't dare to recall the scene at that time.
Yang Yongzhi glanced at the closed doors and windows of his home and comforted Zhao Liuer: "I'm afraid you heard wrong?"
Zhao Liu'er: "How could I hear it wrong? I'm not deaf, so the sound of opening the door was really real, and the force was very strong!"
Yang Yongzhi: "I'm afraid it's not the sound of someone else's door opening. It's particularly clear at night. It wouldn't be surprising if it reached our house."
He patted Zhao Liuer's back gently again, "Okay, it's okay. I'm back now. It's so early. It must be the sound of someone else's door opening. I heard a little bit in the backyard."
"Really, you heard that too?"
"Yes, I heard it." Yang Yongzhi said against his will, and then walked Zhao Liu'er to the bedside, "Hurry up and go to bed. I'll sleep in the shop."
"You can't go out again tonight, I'm worried." Zhao Liu'er opened the curtain, stuck his head out towards him, and warned him with a serious face, "Even if you escape, you have to escape into the urine bucket!"
Yang Yongzhi almost laughed, but when he saw his wife's serious face, he didn't dare to laugh, so he solemnly promised: "Well, even if there are few escapes, I won't go out, so sleep peacefully. If you need anything, just call me."
Zhao Liuer then lay back in the tent with peace of mind.
Yang Yongzhi also took off his clothes and lay down on the single bed by the window.
This one-person shop was actually made up of six or seven stools put together temporarily, with a quilt spread on top and covered on one side.
After a while, Zhao Liuer's even breathing came from the other side of the bed. However, Yang Yongzhi, who was lying on the bed, was not sleepy at all.
Not only was it uncomfortable to sleep in this shop and he was scratching his back, but also because of what happened before, which made his nerves tense.
Lying there, with his arms behind his head, he opened his eyes and stared at the food in the hazy room. He was thinking about many things in a mess, but his ears were raised high, always catching sight of the main room outside the window. Everything going on inside.
Tonight seemed a little different from every other night.
Tonight, it seemed especially quiet outside.
On nights like this, the north wind would blow hard, pouring in from the patio of the main room and swirling around in the main room.
There will be mice coming out to look for food, making squeaking sounds, and from time to time, you will hear the cry of wild cats outside.
However, tonight, the hall outside the house seemed to be extremely quiet, so quiet that Yang Yongzhi felt a little panicked.
Only there was a faint light and warmth in this small house, and this wall was like a protective shield, protecting the three of them within it.
This feeling is very strange, both scared and nervous, but at the same time, there is also a sense of protection and security.
The fusion of multiple feelings will give rise to an impulse called curiosity and excitement.
Let Yang Yongzhi continue to prick up his ears and capture the movement outside the house anytime and anywhere. Maybe he will really catch something strange?
After all, Daochang Yuan said that there are many things in this world that are beyond everyone's understanding.
If you say mysterious, it is because you have never known, seen or heard about those things before, so you find them mysterious, unbelievable and unbelievable.
But in fact, the world has its own laws. It’s not that you don’t know it, and that kind of thing doesn’t exist.
So Yang Yongzhi was going to stay up tonight and just keep his eyes open until dawn. He wanted to use his own personal experience to feel whether it was really as mysterious as the elders said.
However, some things are not just what he wants.
So much so that he fell asleep without even knowing it.
Until, he had a dream.
In the dream, he dreamed that he was back when he was very young, probably only five or six years old, playing with his second brother, who was also a child, by the patio of the main room.
At that time, the patio was used as a water reservoir. Sometimes when it rained and it was inconvenient to go to the pond to wash, my mother and third aunt would come here to wash.
Then, he saw his second brother accidentally slipping into the patio.
The second brother was struggling in the water. He was anxious and circled Tianjin, wanting to go into the water to pull the second brother up, but in the dream he did not have the courage to go down.
At this moment, a handsome young man wearing a green robe rushed out from the room on the left side in front. He was tall and thin. Because he had been locked in the room reading and writing all year round, his skin was a little pale and his body was a little thin. .
"Brother, hurry up, second brother fell into the water!"
"Don't panic, I'm coming!"
The eldest brother rushed over, jumped into the patio, and then picked up the second brother.
After picking her up, the eldest brother turned around and walked towards the door without looking back.
He was confused and chased after him, but there seemed to be a barrier blocking his way. He shouted anxiously: "Brother, where are you going? Don't leave!"
The eldest brother didn't look back and walked straight to the door. However, a voice seemed to come into his head. It was the eldest brother's voice.
"Big brother goes where he should go. You brothers will support you and honor my mother for me..."
