Finally, the villagers who had been busy with the autumn harvest and had been idle for a while, started to make arrangements for the opening of the school according to the previous plan.

Since there is no age limit, and the desks and chairs are all brought by individuals, Xu Lingyuan still finds it very interesting when he looks at a room full of students of uneven heights, ages, and various equipment. .What made him rather disappointed was that he originally wanted A Qi to be his assistant, but in the end he failed because the other party had to do too much work.As for whether this matter is related to A Qi's mother, he doesn't know.

He stayed in the school most of the time every day, and A Qi almost stopped coming to him. Under such circumstances, the communication between them suddenly decreased a lot.In order to continue teaching A Qi some things, Xu Lingyuan would also go to the village for a while at night.

Since most of the time during the day was occupied by reading, they put the time for playing around at night.After eating every night, I spontaneously gather in a relatively open place, taking advantage of the bright moonlight to continue the previous game.Gradually, adults also began to gather here, bringing some corn or peanuts that need to be threshed, and chatting while working.

After the children are tired from playing, they gather around their adults and spontaneously help with some work. Of course, at this time, one of the classic characteristic programs in the country is indispensable: storytelling, and it is a variety of events that take place in the village. Ghost stories from people you know.

When Xu Lingyuan was young, he also heard a lot of such situations. At that time, he was really scared to see a tree shadow, but after he grew up, especially after leaving his hometown, he was basically forgotten. But he didn't expect that there would be a chance to revisit it here. He just looked at the children around him who were staring and listening intently. He couldn't get into it anymore.

After the show was over, after admiring their terrified expressions, Xu Lingyuan happily embarked on his way home.He didn't care at all at first, but he was just walking, watching his figure stretched very long by the bright white moonlight, gently floating from one grave mound by the roadside to another, and the harvest just now The empty fields of the city also set off this figure more and more slender and lonely, and then inadvertently recalled the story I heard just now, and for some reason, suddenly felt a bit of coolness.Fortunately, it was not far from home, so thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

It's just that sometimes the more you think about something, the more you feel something.Just now, he just felt a little chilly, but when he accidentally turned his head, he found that there was a dark figure-like thing on the road some distance away from him, and when he turned his head, that black figure It was obviously moving in his direction, but when he stopped, it didn't move.

Of course, the first thing he thought of was that it should be someone who went the same way as him.But if you think about it carefully, everyone in the village is probably going to sleep now, so who is going outside the village at this time?And when nothing stops by itself, it doesn't go away?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so he quickened his pace again.

It's just that when he walked for a while, he couldn't help being curious and looked back, the black figure was still not far behind him.He tried his best to see what happened, but it might be because of the moonlight, standing in his position, he could only see a thin black shadow that didn't look like a human.

He wanted to ignore it and hurry back, but he was a little curious. Finally, after staring at the motionless black figure like him for a while, he boldly walked towards it.When it saw Xu Lingyuan turn back, it shook first, and then stood still.

"Aqi?" After getting closer, although he still couldn't see clearly, he was basically sure that it was a person, so he tentatively called.

"Why are you back again?" The other party asked back, although he didn't answer him directly, but the black figure that startled him was undoubtedly A Qi.

"I just wanted to ask you? Why are you following me so silently at night?" Xu Lingyuan, who had just passed through a false alarm, asked in a somewhat hostile tone.

"I'm afraid you'll be scared on the road." The other party replied very honestly.

"I think it's because I'm afraid I'm not afraid." After hearing what he said, Xu Lingyuan said angrily and amusedly. "You have to follow me and tell me. I have never seen an escort like you. If you were timid, you would have been frightened by you."

"I don't know if you're afraid or not, that's why you followed." Seemingly realizing that something was wrong with his behavior, the other party said with some embarrassment.

"Forget it, go back to sleep quickly, otherwise I won't send you back later." It was indeed not very early, Xu Lingyuan advised him.

"Yeah." After the other party agreed, he still stood there and looked at him, "You go first."

"Then I'm leaving." Xu Lingyuan turned and left after speaking, but after walking a certain distance, he saw that he was still there, so he shouted at him: "Go back quickly, I'm not responsible for being locked out of the door! "That's when I saw him move.

Looking at the black shadow that was getting farther and farther away from him, Xu Lingyuan was not only moved, but also found him very interesting. Although he didn't talk much, he was very thoughtful. Friends, it's just that he doubts whether the current Ah Qi knows what a girlfriend is.But when he thought of this, he was completely baffled by his own thoughts, so he simply forgot them all.

I had similar thoughts again, on the way back from watching a play in another village.

It turns out that every time after the autumn harvest here, several villages will pool some money to invite opera troupes to sing for a few days, which is considered an annual event.Since the distribution of several villages is a bit scattered, we can only choose a compromise stage to set up the stage, and people from other villages rush to watch. Since there are still some work to be done during the day, the plays are all held at night, and even sing all night. .

Xu Lingyuan also went with them with great interest.Although the play was quite lively, he still dozed off listening to it. When everyone finally went back, his eyelids were a little bit tight, and the drowsiness was really unbearable. Seeing Aqi pulling him, he went by Following the road he led, squinting his eyes on the uneven dirt road, he followed with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

Seeing that he was about to fall asleep, A Qi let him lean on him with some uneasiness at first, seeing that he was still in a stumbling posture, so he stopped and planned to carry him on his back.

It's just that as soon as he lay on A Qi's back, he suddenly woke up with a jerk. Although he was much shorter than him, he couldn't bully the child so shamelessly. A Qi couldn't hold on to him, so he could only Let it go.And he was so disturbed, his drowsiness also eased a lot, but A Qi was still very used to pulling him.

Just arrived at the entrance of the village, Agui, who had been walking in front, suddenly said loudly to Aqi: "Aqi, you'd better go to my house today, otherwise Aunt Six will scold Ajiang and the others again."

Not understanding the connection between Agui's words at all, Xu Lingyuan looked at Aqi in confusion.

"No need, I can sleep in the kitchen." A Qi said directly to A Gui without explaining to him.

"Why don't you go and sleep with Xiao Xiucai, anyway, their house is big." Seeing the two of them walking together, Agui suddenly changed his mind and said.

"No need." A Qi resolutely denied it.

"Does he have nowhere to sleep?" Xu Lingyuan asked Agui very strangely.

"He can't sleep in the bed at home." Agui replied succinctly.

"Then why are you scolding A Jiang?" And it was A Qi who was kicked out?Of course, he won't ask the second half of the sentence.

"Sixth Aunt never scolded A Qi, and would only blame A Jiang and the others for any mistakes." A Gui said naturally.

"Then why doesn't Ah Qi have a place to sleep?" If he didn't know a little about the situation of Ah Qi's family, he would have thought that Ah Qi was very favored after hearing what Ah Gui said.

"Didn't I tell you? They can't sleep at home." Agui said impatiently.

Seeing that he couldn't figure out why, Xu Lingyuan could only shift the focus to A Qi again.

"Go to sleep at my place? It just so happens that the weather is getting colder and colder, and I'm worrying about not being able to cover myself with warm blankets." Xu Lingyuan was not in a hurry to ask him, and planned to abduct him back first.

"No need." A Qi was still unwilling to compromise.

"Do you think my bed is not as comfortable as your kitchen?" Xu Lingyuan was not in a hurry, but asked with a smile.

"It's too troublesome." He finally said with some embarrassment.

"What's the trouble with this? Isn't it just walking a few more miles every day? You don't need to rearrange it. I'll give you half of the bed. Otherwise, half of it is negotiable. It's definitely worth it. Just pass by , don't miss it!" Xu Lingyuan said solemnly.

"If you don't say anything, it will be assumed that you agree." Seeing that he just smiled when he heard what he said, Xu Lingyuan said quickly.

"Well, thank you." He didn't hesitate anymore, shook Xu Lingyuan's hand, and said to him with a smile.

"Don't say thank you for your kindness, just keep it in your heart." Feeling that his smile looked a little provocative, Xu Lingyuan said quickly to destroy the atmosphere.

"Yeah." The other party seemed to believe it.

"Just kidding, forget it quickly." Xu Lingyuan added helplessly.

After returning, Xu Lingyuan finally solved all the doubts in his heart.

It turns out that just like him now, A Qi's current mother is not his own mother, who died of illness when he was seven years old.His mother and his father were said to be in love at the time, but the two families looked down on each other. The woman despised the man's family for being poor, and the man despised the woman's family for having a lot of right and wrong. Together, therefore, after they got married, not only did they not have the blessing of their parents, but they all became enemies.

It's just that Ah Qi's father endured hardships and stood hard work, and his family situation gradually improved, but Ah Qi's mother fell ill again. It was not that there was no cure, but it would cost a lot of money, which his father could not afford. There was nowhere to ask for help, so I could only watch his mother go.And the grandfather's house, who was neither willing to borrow money for soup and medicine nor to see his daughter, came to the house just after his mother was buried and made a big fuss, saying that his father killed his daughter and asked him to compensate them a sum of money.

Although his father ignored them, he seemed to have changed since then. He obviously liked his mother so much, but one month after his mother passed away, he asked someone to find his current mother again.

And his current mother was also very kind to him when she first came in, as if she was her own.It's just that after she had her own child, she became more and more indifferent to him.He can also understand these things, but she still has to act like she loves him in front of others, and she will only scold A Jiang and the others no matter what.He didn't know it before, but it wasn't until an incident happened on the Dragon Boat Festival this year that he really saw it clearly.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone will get a hard-boiled egg. When she was distributing it to them, someone happened to pass by the door and said a few words to her, and she gave the biggest one to Ah Qi. If she didn't want it, she clamored to ask him for it, and he gave it to him, but she didn't expect her to reprimand A Jiang in front of the man.

She had never seen her reprimanding herself so severely, so Ah Jiang ran away out of breath.There was no one there until lunch time, and when she went out to look for it, he followed her around guiltily.What he didn't expect was that when he found them, she was teaching Ah Jiang a lesson, saying that she couldn't bear even this little grievance, and she treated him like this for A Jiang's good, even though he was scolded, But Ah Qi would think of her well, and would naturally treat them well, so what's the point of being scolded a few more times?There will be no loss of meat, just like this time, the egg has not yet reached his hands.

And since then, Ah Jiang has become even more arrogant, and doesn't take her reprimands seriously at all.This made him a little confused. It turns out that no matter how good a person is, they will change, and he has no one to talk to, so during that time, he ran as far as possible in the ground, not all to avoid Xu Lingyuan.

Since then, she found that A Qi was becoming more and more alienated from them, and instead became inseparable with Xu Lingyuan, and she became more and more dissatisfied with him.Because it was getting cold and the quilt was not changed for a while, Ah Jiang suddenly suffered from a cold, and said that it was because A Qi pulled the quilt away that caused him to catch a cold, and he did not want to sleep with A Qi again.

So she used this as an excuse to scold A Jiang from time to time, saying that if she doesn't do anything all day, she will find anger, and there is nothing she can do about such a big bed, even if she freezes to death, she will die. Endure or something.

Anyway, Ah Jiang wouldn't care about it, and only Ah Qi felt uncomfortable.Because Ah Jiang's wind and cold were not healed, and she complained that she didn't want to sleep with him, and she scolded more and more fiercely, Ah Qi could only temporarily sleep on the firewood in the kitchen.Although she didn't stop her, she blamed all of this on A Jiang and scolded him for being ignorant.

In fact, his experience is similar to that of the original owner, except that one has formed a withdrawn character, while the other is still so gentle.Xu Lingyuan sighed, pulled the quilt towards him and said, "It's okay, I will treat you well in the future."
