I didn’t sleep until I woke up naturally on Saturday morning.
Meng Ting still bought buns and soy milk. Ni Yangzhou slowly got out of bed and washed up. After cleaning himself, he remembered that he didn't have any spare clothes.
"Dad Meng."
Wearing only a pair of light blue school uniform pants, Ni Yangzhou was shirtless and spoke in the sunny yard.
"I have nothing to wear."
Mengzhou originally wanted to open the gate to throw away the garbage, but when he saw the boy's expression, he closed the door again and turned back to find clothes for him.
The boy took out a few yellow and red T-shirts.
It doesn't match Meng Ting's style at all. From the perspective of today's era, such brightly colored and printed tops are quite common.
But Meng Ting always wears solid-colored clothes.
These clothes at the bottom of the closet are the store owner's inventory, and were given as holiday rewards.
Although it was a bit eye-catching, Ni Yangzhou still wore it.
Looking at himself in the small round mirror hanging on the wall, the boy was quite satisfied. He felt that he was young and lively and could carry off any clothes.
I've been wearing school uniforms for a long time, and finally I can change the style.
Meng Ting was wearing a simple pure white sportswear. Meng Ting, who had never seen him in casual clothes, took a few more glances at him.
If you want to be pretty, be filial.
Ni Yangzhou thought silently in his heart, Meng Ting is quite pretty.
"What are Father Meng's plans for the morning?"
Meng Ting checked the lock of the east room, and took out a small bag from the sleeping room, filled with two sets of clothes, turned around and said:
"I have something to do and need to go out."
Ni Yangzhou looked at the bag the boy was carrying.
"Going on a long journey?"
Meng Ting nodded.
"I'll be back on Monday."
"What about Auntie?"
“…Someone is taking care of me.”
Ni Yangzhou was a little confused. He didn't see Meng Ting having any relatives to visit. Could it be that after he left, some relatives would come to help?
Not wanting to ask more questions, Ni Yangzhou just hummed and absentmindedly picked up the bun and took a bite.
"Saturday and Sunday classes will be made up next week."
"Okay, that's fine. I'm not in a hurry."
Ni Yangzhou took another sip of soy milk.
Meng Ting didn't move, and Ni Yangzhou didn't move either.
Suddenly, Ni Yangzhou stood up and realized that people were leaving and he couldn't stay here any longer.
"Brother Meng, wait for me. I will go back too."
Meng Ting didn't mean to chase anyone away.
"If you want to stay, you can continue to live here.
I have to take care of my own meals. There are no restaurants in the village, so I have to cross the bridge to the other side. "
"No," Ni Yangzhou also wanted to go home to check the situation, "Let's go together."
Meng Ting was going to the train station, not far from the center of the county town.
At this time, the business district surrounds the train station, with people coming and going. It is the place with the largest floating population, and has attracted many vendors doing small businesses.
The Internet cafe that Ni Yangzhou passed by before and the restaurant opened by Pan Dongxue's family are not far from here.
The two of them traveled together without taking a taxi and didn't feel tired at all.
When they arrived at the train station, Meng Ting and Ni Yangzhou parted ways amid the bustling crowd.
Ni Yangzhou waved happily, but Meng Ting didn't seem so happy.
"When will Brother Meng be back on Sunday? I'll pick you up?"
The boy looked at Ni Yangzhou's face and shook his head.
"Don't answer it. I'm not sure about the time."
"Okay, then...
Be careful on the road?"
Meng Ting nodded and finally went into the station.
Ni Yangzhou stood outside for a while, then saw someone selling sausages nearby. He bought one and walked home leisurely.
Pure starch sausage.
The two sides were cut diagonally with a knife, fried in oil until golden and crispy, and sprinkled with a layer of barbecue seasoning on the surface. The white sesame seeds also exuded a unique fragrance. Under the sun, it was warm and lovely.
Ni Yangzhou loves this dish. He won’t allow any meat to be added. It has to be pure starch.
After finishing a sausage, Ni Yangzhou looked for a trash can with a bamboo stick in his hand. In fact, small garbage piles were very common in the alley that was as complicated as a honeycomb. The boy still maintained good hygiene habits and looked around everywhere.
Finally found a trash can.
Ni Yangzhou broke the stick in two to avoid accidental injury. Just as he was about to leave after throwing it away, the familiar voice came again.
"Are you done yet? Aren't you afraid that we will tell Jiao Kaifeng?"
Um! ?
We can't miss this opportunity.
Ni Yangzhou quickly turned around several intersections and finally found the source of the sound.
That crisp voice was very recognizable; it was indeed Pan Dongxue's deskmate, He Xing.
There was more than one person, with He Xing was also the squad leader, Zhang Min.
The two of them often came together to find Pan Dongxue to do homework.
I often walk in this alley and am very familiar with the road, but I am annoyed when I meet people I don’t want to meet on the road.
For example, Wan Xinrong.
"I'm looking for Minmin. What does it have to do with you or this yelling person?"
Wan Xinrong was still wearing the same open-collar shirt, with his hair slicked back and a bit greasy, looking like a "social man".
Still showing his foul-mouthed nature, he taunted He Xing:
"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you think I want to talk to a fat pig like you?"
"You are not allowed to say that!" Zhang Min was anxious.
He Xing still had some baby fat on her face, and she was often troubled by the fact that her face was too big, but she had never been called that with such insulting words, and her eyes were immediately filled with tears.
"Minmin, don't be angry. Brother was just teasing her. I..."
Halfway through his words, Ni Yangzhou walked into the alley, grabbed the boy's shoulders, and also started to taunt him:
"Hey, long time no see, big chicken rack, why don't you come to me to play with me?"
The two girls' faces had turned red with anger, but when they heard this, they burst into laughter.
When Wan Xinrong saw that the person coming was Ni Yangzhou, bad memories rushed back to his mind and he said awkwardly: "Brother Ni, hello, Brother Ni, I am just joking."
Ni Yangzhou pinched the boy's collar and said:
"I'm just kidding with you, right, big cock."
"Yes, yes, Brother Ni."
Ni Yangzhou's face turned cold.
"Apologize."
Wan Xinrong didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Zhang Min, but because of the cold boy behind him, he still opened his mouth awkwardly.
"sorry."
He Xing was holding her breath. Wan Xinrong had blocked her and Zhang Min several times. They had tried their best to avoid him, but he always ran into them and each time he would pester them for a long time.
He was pretending before, one moment he wanted to invite them to the game hall, the next moment he wanted to take them to the Internet cafe.
Both of them hated this kind of persistent and nagging person. Zhang Min was annoyed and ran away several times. She never gave him a good face. This time or twice, Wan Xinrong's words were getting more and more excessive.
He praised Zhang Min for being beautiful and said Zhang Min's legs were thin and long.
He Xing stared with wide eyes and said without any instruction:
"It doesn't matter--
"Small dog!"
Ni Yangzhou's eyes lit up, this word doesn't exist now, could it be that it was also transmitted from time immemorial?
Wan Xinrong's face turned red, and he was angry and embarrassed. Ni Yangzhou let go of him and turned and walked away.
Ni Yangzhou took the initiative to approach He Xing and asked:
"Love you walking alone in a dark alley?"
"what?"
"Then... earlier, my friend, do you know Amway?"
"what?"
He Xing and Zhang Min both looked genuinely confused.
"It's okay," Ni Yangzhou concealed his disappointment, pretending that it was just a momentary brain spasm, and then asked about what happened just now:
"He always blocks you guys?"
Zhang Min took He Xing's hand and thanked the boy:
"Yes, thank you so much, Ni. That person always comes here and is very annoying."
He Xing also complained: "He is simply harassing me!"
Ni Yangzhou said: "That's right."
He Xing smiled shyly, blushing a little, and said, "I don't usually curse at people, but he is just so annoying..."
"He should be scolded."
Ni Yangzhou thought it was totally fine.
"He deserves it for his own fault for making such wanton comments about other people's appearances. He should feel the pain of being criticized.
There is no point in preaching. We are not his parents or teachers. It is enough for us to fight back. "
The tears in He Xing's eyes disappeared, and he said cheerfully: "Ni Yangzhou, what you said is exactly what I want!"
Zhang Min was also very happy. The frustration she had been feeling over the past few days was finally a little relieved, but she was still a little worried.
Last time, Wan Xinrong stopped them from leaving and wanted to hold her hand. It was He Xing who mustered up the courage to push the boy, and the two of them hurriedly ran away.
Whenever the two sides confronted each other, Zhang Min always felt uneasy.
Ni Yangzhou saw Zhang Min's silence.
"If you're worried, why don't you look for Jiao Kaifeng?"
Zhang Min, contrary to her usual attitude, said with a frown, "I'm not his girlfriend."
Ni Yangzhou suddenly remembered Yan Jin's confession that day and felt a little regretful. He felt that his words were also very inappropriate.
He Xing also explained: "They are not boyfriend and girlfriend, really, it is Jiao Kaifeng who has been pursuing her...
That was just to scare him, Minmin won't go looking for him."
Ni Yangzhou understood. The two of them didn't look like the same kind of people. Zhang Min was devoted to her studies and had never had any conflicts with Jiao Kaifeng at school.
Jiao Kaifeng is too eager to do the job.
Zhang Min bit her lip and said, "I don't like him either. He spread the news everywhere and caused me a lot of trouble."
He Xing didn't say anything else, but just looked at Zhang Min with some worry.
Ni Yangzhou nodded and said, “I will talk to Jiao Kaifeng.
You can talk to him again if you have the chance."
I originally thought that Ni Yangzhou had been close to Jiao Kaifeng recently and would act as Jiao Kaifeng's lobbyist like everyone else, but I didn't expect the boy to make such remarks.
"If Wan Xinrong blocks you again, warn him first, then yell at him. If that doesn't work, accuse him of stealing something and ask passers-by to call the police. Tell his parents at home, and ask the class teacher to find his parents at school.
He is a weak man who will probably leave if he is threatened to call the police. For other people, this method may need to be used with caution. "
Zhang Min was very grateful to Ni Yangzhou for his help and advice. This kind of harassment was not a big deal, but it was related to premature love. They were afraid of being gossiped about, so the two of them had been enduring it.
The more you tolerate, the more it goes too far.
Zhang Min also had some thoughts in mind, and thanked him, "I will think about it carefully."
The three of them traveled together. He Xing was a lively one and chattered all the way. When they arrived at the entrance of Pan Dongxue's restaurant, Ni Yangzhou said goodbye to his classmates.
He Xing looked at Ni Yangzhou's back and said, "School bully is really good."
Pan Dongxue pursed her lips and nodded.
Zhang Min added: "He is not a school bully.
A friend of women."
He Xingle laughed out loud, "I really wish there were more women friends like this!"
-------------------------------------
"Dad, I've thought about it."
The boy stood in front of a lonely grave, surrounded by tall trees. The dense branches blocked the sky, like a cover of dark green and light blue.
The air in the hood is fresh, there is no one around, and the animals are quiet.
Only the boy said this.
After the words were spoken, the voice faded away, as if it had never been there.
Meng Ting came in a hurry and only bought some incense, candles and gold paper at the paper clothing store at the foot of the mountain.
The dust had long since eroded the name on the tombstone and made it unclear. Meng Ting had no cloth to wipe it, so he had to use his sleeve to wipe off the dirt on the tombstone bit by bit.
After pulling out the half-man-high weeds behind the grave, the boy cleared a space and sat in front of the grave to start folding paper ingots.
Fold the paper in the center, pinch it with two fingers, and the gold paper will fly up and down, and it will take shape in a few seconds.
Meng Ting didn't say anything while folding, but just folded silently until a small hill was piled in front of him, and then the boy stopped.
If there is no incense burner, make one on the spot and insert three incense sticks.
There was little wind in the forest, and the three incense sticks burned slowly for a long time.
When it burned to the last bit, a breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled like surging waves.
The incense and candles all went out with a puff.
Meng Ting took out the jade pendant from his collar. The color of the jade pendant was so bright that it looked as if it contained a pool of water.
The boy closed his eyes and lit the Yuan Bao Shan. The fireworks rose up but did not spread outwards. Instead, they floated straight up.
The wind and ashes were like thousands of sharp arrows, piercing Meng Ting's body. He just closed his eyes and said nothing. His white clothes were fluttering, as if full of life.
After a long while, the wind finally stopped and the fire died down. The boy opened his eyes, and a bloody light flashed in his eyes.
The ashes had turned white and there were no more sparks. Meng Ting scooped up some soil with his hands and buried the paper ashes in the soil bit by bit.
There is a small grave mound in front of the big grave mound.
Meng Ting picked and chose from the bushes nearby and found a dry, flat trunk.
He didn't mind the insect and ant marks on the tree trunk and just stuck it in front of the small grave.
He then found a hard stone, one side of which was sharp enough to be engraved with.
The boy held the simple tombstone and carved four words on it.
The matter was settled. Meng Ting looked around the place again until it got dark, then he finally left and started his return journey.
On the way down the mountain, there are lush trees with intertwined roots and few human traces.
When Meng Ting came to the mountain in his hometown to burn paper, he never walked fast.
There was no one waiting for me when I got home.
There was no one there when I got home.
This time it was different. The boy walked with quick steps and direction and purpose.
The sinking sun watched the boy's footsteps, and finally felt tired, closed its eyes, and let the darkness cover the earth.
-------------------------------------
"Hello grandma!"
Ni Yangzhou returned to the community with light steps, greeted the elderly people at the door, and went home in just a few steps.
The key was still under the flowerpot, and everything in the house was as it was.
Ni Yangzhou carefully checked the hair he had put into the padlock, and it was still there.
No one has been here.
The boy wasted no time and rearranged his "jar". Although he felt that the possibility of the man in black coming back was not high, he still held on to hope and made all the necessary preparations.
After completing the preparations, Ni Yangzhou sat at his desk and kept accounts like a primary school student. After finishing the accounts, he did his homework.
Until there was a "beep" sound, the task progress came.
[Hello host, I am reporting today's mission progress to you. ]
[Task progress—49.3%.]
[Please continue to work hard, complete the main mission, and get to the end of the story. ]
